Thanks again everybody. I'm super excited and also glad there is a forum full of cool people that love these cars.

Got mine a month ago, one of the first things i did was drive down there from Charlotte to check out DDM.

They have a great shop, nice people and lots and lots of cool toys to add to it. Have fun with the new car.

After spending a couple hours looking at DDM's website, I've come to the conclusion that if these cat's drink beer, that shop is my new favorite place....

Well after driving this car for a night, I must say it is fun as hell. I wasn't expecting the ride of a 91 Corvette Z51 however. I'm gonna lay most of the blame for that at the dreadful Goodyear Eagles which are sadly very near new. I hate Goodyears with an unwavering passion. Aside from that, the car is quick, stable, and has as close to a perfect driving position as any car I've ever driven. Oh yeah, and then there's the looks. No complaints there, from me or anyone that's seen it. This is a beautiful car.

Its a roadster, not a buick. It will have a firm ride, but its not nearly as bad as old vettes.

That's just it, it is as bad as an old Vette. I'll take it up to DDM next week mayby and make sure there isn't anything wrong with it.

Get an alignment.
Tolerance isn't good enough.
Needs to be close to spec.

I might do that but honestly I think it's the tires. How Goodyear pulls off selling the worst tires on the planet for what they do is beyond me. I wouldn't take a free set of Eagles if I needed tires. I might try and sell these ones and just buy new tires.

They're RSA's but I swear to God I will sell them very cheap. Anything to get anything that says Goodyear Eagle off of my car. I've been driving performance cars for 13 years and the best thing I've ever done to anything I've ever owned was removing Goodyear Eagles. I had F1's on my Trans Am and actually replaced them with Cooper Cobras. Nothing made that car better than buying literally the cheapest tires money could buy. Beyond those horrid tires, I'm loving my new car.
