Default My trip to PT Tuning today

Just got back from PT Tuning to have a situation with my recently installed BTG cat/back dual exhaust looked at (have a look at my post under General Turbo Discussions) and I got to pick Maier and Zev's brains about performance, handling, etc. I even got a chance to drive the red panel conversion Cruiser they have (you may have seen this on their website). This baby is lowered, has 18" wheels with low profile tires, and a supercharger! Fun? Uh, yeah! Handles? Like a GoKart! There was no body roll at all on this baby, and Maier even urged me to jump on it on a two lane freeway on-ramp. His words, spoken rather matter-of-factly; "Go ahead and pass these guys". That maneuver actually entailed accelerating hard while making a right/left/right lane change to get around the other cars, all while blasting up a right hand curving on-ramp! The Cruiser didn't blink and I don't think I stopped smiling for a couple hours.

Very nice guys, Maier and Zev. Zev even told me what to watch for and what to expect when I install my new strut tower brace this weekend. I couldn't recommend someone more highly than I do these guys.
