No Doubt... Just getting to know Don, He has no reason to talk crap. The best don't need to!

I'm not going to even respond to the other guy who posted above , people love to be drama queens and get involved in stuff that doesn't concern them... I'm not a fan boy or saying slow hawk is not a good shop.. I just don't like there attitudes in a couple threads I've read.
I'll unsubscribe to your thread and let you get back to topic now.. sorry

Me personally I would never use them. Not cause there not good at what they do but I lost respect for slowhawk cause they bad mouth other vendors, I would assume to stray business there way. Until I found this out I was considering using them myself.... But I don't roll that way... it shows greed.
Again I'm sure there great installers /tuners but that just puts a bad taste in my month.

Yeah, I never heard that, so I really do not know. All I know is he is a popular LS builder. Have you ever dealt with Mikey @ Rapid Motorsports in PA. If you are on LS1Tech as well, I am sure you heard about him. He is a stand up guy.

Where did you get those red seat belts? I think the're going to be seriously hot with the red stitching in the ZL1.

Seat Belt Solutions in Jupiter FL. Your gonna have to send them your originals as they replace the factory belt. Or you can do what I did with a good friend on this forum. We went in 1/2 on a new set from GM ($400) and had his done 1st and then he sent in his originals for me. So in a short time I will have a factory set available for sale.

Picked her up from Slowhawk... WOW!

So I picked her up from Don yesterday. Exhausting day. What should have been a 4 hour trip turned in to a 6 + hour trip. LOL... I took it real easy on her the entire trip. It was 25 degrees out and in 4th she would just get sideways if not careful. I will say this, the POWER is bonkers.... But the nice part is they gave me a very drive-able car. Put her in 6th and just cruised... I'll have much more to tell soon. But 1st she really needs a bath before heading over to my boys shop for Wrap, Paint & Interior work. Sad part is once that's done we will have snow on the ground. Nick at Slowhawk did me a big plus and took over 90 pictures for me during the build. I will post just a few for now. Like I said I will tell much more soon.
