Hi Zdeck & all; I took the Bronze Brick to town two days ago and came upon a crash, just happened. A beautiful CTS wine Red Two door, schmuck-ed hard by a small UTE. I have problem attaching an "S" to utility, like suv as I find very few that qualify as sport! Looks like the Ute ran the stop sign. I get pissed just talking about it & it wasn't even my car. But can you imagine if the person (I'll bet it was female) hit the Bronze Brick. Holey brown soft smelly stuff you'd be reading about me in the news, "old guy kills stop sign running idiot". Anyway Zdeck you have influenced me to post up about the last few weeks of hobby shop toil. So keep watch for a new posting as your dyno picture was reassuring I'm doing the right thing? So now what happens when I get back from Byron this summer & have a ET slip in hand that's only a couple of 10th's slower than the Brick? Good luck at the track this week-end, Ole' Bob
Ps: I attached a picture to help get your juices flowing, couldn't find the one of the GuTOo.

Went to the track the other night. Something is wrong with the trans tune. Thinking its the torque management. Everytime it would shift, it would feel like traction control would kick in or just cut power and not go into gear. It was supe bad and annoying. But it still ran a 11.6@123. Here is the only video i got of it. You can hear it shift all weird. Talked to my tuner and hoping to have it fixed by this weekend.

If you ran an 11 sec run what did the guy next to you do 3 sec?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

I really hate these computer controlled everything cars.

I'm having some issues as well with the tune on the Stingray.

But hey you made it down the track with a good time,

Just think it's only going to get faster from here on in!!!

Can you send me a copy of the tune? I can take a peak to see if there is an obvious issue.

I dont know what he ran, but i let him get ahead of me so i could hear my car shift. His car was super loud and wanted to get my car shifting on video.
