I'll try to take some pics as I do the install. I've never done the school out there, the downside to being in Finance at the dealership is I'm usually working on Saturdays.

BTW, have you done the driving school in Pahrump? Bit expensive, but it's a blast. They use Vettes. Also I am sure there are clubs that offer track days if you want to try out your own car; although some instruction might be called for if you've never done this before.

Was in Vegas a few weeks ago. Rented a 2010 convertable for the drive out to Red Rock and Boulder dam. If we had that weather up here year round, I sure would have a vert. Love that American South-West area.

Cheers.

Warranties are for suckers. Why would I want a warranty when I can have 500rwhp? I kissed my warranty goodbye to the tune of whipple screaming in my ears and never have I regretted it. And yes, stuff breaks. You gotta pay to play.

Thats the problem, the internet is full of best friends brother cousins that think they can find tunes with IDS....or GMs software, or Chryslers software, and guess what, none of them can. In fact, it seems the best friend never show up to back up the statements their friend make for them either.

Got a screenshot? What exactly is it they see anyhow??????????

If a dealership's service department denies me warranty work for, let's say a bad alternator, rear axle, power steering, etc. because I have a tune then someone at that dealership will end up with my foot so far up their azz that they'll be shining my shoes when they brush their teeth.

There are laws to protect the consumer against dealers that try to fall back on that type of intimidation. And consumers that ALLOW themselves to be intimidated in that manner also deserve a boot in the azz.
