    It wasn't a question. Hence no question mark.

    guy bought a Camaro from me that cincy speed had tuned.

    he calls me about a month later, saying he got the shaft on the car. said the engine blew on it. that's why we sold it as is. I told him the cars previous owner had taken great care of the car, the car ran great, it was as is because of the cams / heads / intake, etc..

    then he happens to mention having it retuned. I asked what he meant. He told me he took it to DTP because he thought it was a little lacking on power. I was like. So, you took a car that was running fine, drove it for weeks it was fine, then you take it to DTP and have it retuned, and 2 days later it blows??? And that's my fault because.......

    I called and told him that the car was already tuned. He interrupted me and said how much power did it make. I told him and he said we'll see about that. I said yeah we will but anyway the car is already tuned. The motor runs flawlessly but the tranny isnt. Is it possible to tune the tranny without changing the motor tune. His reply was yeah but I'm still charging you full price.

    Put it back to stock and sell it to some old guy. Then buy something more fun, like an 07-09 GT500 or 04 Terminator, or a 13/14 GT auto, or a G8, GTO, Camaro, Firebird, Z28, Buick Rendevouz, Yugo, Saturn SL2, Honda Civic, Ford Fusion, AMC Spirit, Dodge Dynasty...

    No he did not, at least I dont think he did. We get a lot of calls about tuning, but Im sure he will not be saying, "Hey Im the guy that bought Bobs Camaro, thought it was slow, took it to D--, then blew it up, paid to have a stock LS3 in it, yada yada yada...

    If you see if, tell him I can give him a deal as we already tuned it (Correctly) once.

    NOPE! Always seen Corvettes as a car to be owned by insecure old guys going through a mid-life crisis. Even when I was a GM man and younger I saw them in this manner. Still do and always will. Best Corvette I ever saw was a Mazda RX7 with a Corvette LS engine transplanted into it. Now that I would drive. BUT NEVER A CORVETTE.
