Pics of the "factory authorized PCM control board" ? 
I saw on TV where they are starting to market "add on boards" that run in piggy back to your factory PCM that modify the programing after it leaves the stock computer out to the car. That way you can just remove it before taking it into have service done.
No programming mods to their computer right?..
I don't know if its available for the Corvette though.

The warranty remains intact with Champion only. No big deal - they are right down the road from me.Right now I squeeze out 3.25 sec 0-60, 7.8 0-100, and 11.7 in the 1/4. It WILL be interesting to see where the upgrades place me, No where close to my modded Z but certainly respectable.

Butt heads ARE easy to come by. Respect (of others - whomever they may be) and an open mind are traits I strive for and try to practive in my daily life.

Oh Come on. I own a Porsche and love it. They are great cars and in my opinion the one sports car I am willing to place in my garage with my Vette. I have a TT and it is wicked fast on take off, definetely faster than a stock Z06 and the handling is phenominal. Vettes are not the only sports car out there. They are expensive to drive but they are also VERY reliable this being the reason I would not consider a F or L. I am at 505 HP right now and will be adding a factory authorized (kind of) PCM control board bringing it up to 600 HP w/o loosing my warranty.
I cant speak for any Porsche guys (as I am a loner) but personally I am a very nice person and defintely not part of the wine and cheese crowd.

I'm messin with ya. A Porsche is a work of arte (did I spell it correctly Mr Fancy Pants Porsche driver? )I dont know much about specific year models, but the one in Bad Boys is beautiful. I would pick the Porsche on Test Drive when I played on my Commodore 64. I was straight ballin' when I played that game. All of the animated C64 sprite chicks wanted me. (lets see who knows what a sprite is)

A Car Guy is a Car Guy! We all admire them. I like looking at Porches, old GTO's, Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelle's and well, you name it. A Car Guy likes them all, regardless of vintage, make or model.

The only thing that ticks me off is when the the car rags say the Vette is getting long in the tooth styling wise. For crying out loud the 911 isn't just long in the tooth it's a dinosaur !
