PLEASE CALL US @ 914-332-0049 IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS




Once upon a time....

There were thousands of Corvette owners.... and most of them bought standard shift cars... But why???

Standard shift cars were cool, macho, FAST, and they were MENS CARS...for REAL MEN.

Historically, what self respecting MAN bought an AUTOMATIC VETTE??????

What self respecting MAN would be caught dead in an AUTOMATIC?????

Well, you know...The guys that couldn't drive stick....or maybe the guy with a bum leg.....the poor guy that had to share the car with his wife....You know the type....

Certainly, most WOMEN bought AUTOMATICS.....They were "GIRL CARS"...easy to drive....smooth...and slow....

They were weak, underpowered, they shifted soft.... for sissys....

You didn't buy and AUTOMATIC cause it was fast....You bought it cause you wanted to look cool....You had no intention of racing....You were only going cruising....

And for the poor guys that bought AUTOMATICS....How they were abused by their STICK DRIVING BUDDIES...Everyone made fun of you for buying an AUTOMATIC....How you got TEASED and TAUNTED for your choice of transmission.....

It's been many years since then...Your feelings were hurt....you felt like a wimp.....people still make fun of you till this day......You always REGRETTED buying that AUTOMATIC VETTE...... If you could only go back in time and change the past..... You would buy the stick shift VETTE, BE COOL, GO RACING WITH THE BOYS, and FEEL LIKE A MAN DRIVING A MANS CAR, and NEVER TURN DOWN A CHALLENGE!!!


FAST FORWARD TO 2006

It's now 2006....You like the C6....It's Cool....Got 400hp....and gets 30 MPG....You wanna get a new Vette....WOW, a 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC is available.... Sounds fun...PADDLE SHIFTERS like STAR WARS! HOW SPORTY! You remember the past....and how you got abused for buying the AUTOMATIC.....

OH NO! It couldn't happen again...It's not possible.....IT's 2006 for GODS SAKE! and IT's a 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC.....SURELY IT'S GOT POWER! GM must have finally got it right!.....400hp RIGHT?

You've grown up....You're older now and more mature.....The Automatic seems like a practical choice.....and you say to yourself......

HECK, the damn thing is near 60 GRAND! IT's got to be fast! Right?

So, you muster up the nerve, plunk down your money, and sign the papers and......YOU NOW OWN ANOTHER AUTOMATIC VETTE!!!

You take museum delivery....You take her home...break her in gently, wait 1,500 miles before you go over half throttle....You do EVERYTHING by the book...Hoping that when the 1,500 miles is up.....YOU'RE GONNA GET A PLEASANT SURPRISE!

You change the break in oil....Head out to the highway....CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND STOMP THE PEDAL.......

YES, JUST LIKE BEFORE...YOU'RE THE PROUD OWNER OF AN AUTOMATIC VETTE...ONCE AGAIN.....

The shifts are soft, acceleration is weak, the PADDLES SUCK.....and you're looking at 5 years of payments for a car that you already know YOU HATE.

YOUR FRIENDS WERE RIGHT AGAIN! THEY BOUGHT STICKS, THEIR CARS ARE FASTER......AND THEY ARE COOL.....

AGAIN, YOU ARE NOT...



BUT REMEMBER! REVENGE IS SWEET!


TODAY IS THE DAY THE TIDE CHANGES!
The RULES ARE ABOUT TO BE RE-WRITTEN!

GONE ARE THE DAYS OF WEAK AUTOMATICS, POOR PERFORMANCE, and ABUSE FROM YOUR FRIENDS!!!

INTRODUCING....



YES, IT's FINALLY AVAILABLE @ CoW

A HUGE "THANK YOU" to ARTIE MELENDEZ for donating his BEAUTIFUL RED 08 LS3 A6 AUTOMATIC VETTE!

Not long ago Artie inquired about making his A6 vette faster....So, He got the usual...VARARAM, STAT, TUNE, and some BORLAS..... WOW, was this thing quick!

Next, he tells me..... I want it faster....What else ya got?

Well, ya know Artie...We do have a 3.15 REAR END we're looking to test....and a KILLER TRANS TUNE....

yes, Yes, YES...says Artie...I'LL TAKE IT!!! How quick can you do it????

How bout tomorrow???? I said.......

What do you think Artie's answer was?????? Follow the pics below.....







SO, YOU THINK THAT'S IT??? You think the story ends here?????

WRONG! A few days go by and ARTIE stops by with his car to show off the 3.15 ATTACK PACKAGE to another customer..... While we're talking, I "OOPS" mention that we've got ANOTHER REAR END FOR TESTING... This time it's the 3.42 TOTAL ATTACK PACKAGE! and an UPGRADED TUNE!!!!

ARTIE is close by and hears me mention it to the other customer......What do you think happens next?????

OK, OK, OK, Artie....YES, You can ALSO have the 3.42....Drop it off tonight!!!!


ALL I CAN SAY IS "OMG"...
These REAR ENDS drive almost EXACTLY LIKE STOCK....SMOOTH AND RELIABLE....NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW...

That is.....Untill you BOOT THE THROTTLE and the TIRES BEGIN TO SMOKE AT 60 MPH!!!!

CRUISE RPM's @ 70 MPH in 6th gear are...

1,850 rpms for 3.15's and 1,975 rpms for 3.42's
WOW! That's ALL???


Yesterday, we got a call from a customer that just got the new "Chuck CoW A6 tune and stat"....He went 11.99 with some simple bolt-ons and our tune...See link below.
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...ight=chuck+cow

DANGEROUSLY FAST!

Honestly, I can't even begin to think how fast a similar A6 with either of our ATTACK PACKAGES could be....

PRICES STARTING AT $1,999.
PLEASE CALL US FOR YOUR NEEDS and a QUOTE!
THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE. TOO MANY TO LIST.

Who'se gonna have the LAST LAUGH NOW???

ATTENTION ALL STANDARD SHIFT CORVETTES!!!!
YOU MUST SURRENDER AT ONCE!
SURRENDER----OR BE TAKEN!!!

STICKS WATCH YOUR BACKS...Cause the A6's ARE GONNA ATTACK!!!

Default Package

Hey Chuck I want the 3.42's but I am not sure of a reliable shop around where I am at. I got your tune in Phoenix when we did it at AZ dyno tunes but I am away for the next 8 months. Who knows maybe I will have it shipped up there and you can do the install and the update on the tune.

We've also got an A4 ATTACK PACKAGE also!

The A4 Vettes with my tune and the 3.90 Attack Package rear end will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!

Call me any time to talk about it.
