Nice numbers man, I'll bet it's a blast to drive!

Thanks.

They have pretty mild setups and they both said that they didn't feel like their cars got very much attention, kinda like they just wanted to hurry up and get them in and out. I only have met one of the guys in person and it was when he brought it to my tuners shop to have it re-done.

I wasn't trying to start ****, I was just thinking out loud.

Well, I am the op of this thread.

My experience. I arrived at 2:45 Friday afternoon. Nick drove and street tunned my car for 2 hours. Nick drove me to a hotel and dropped me off. Nick came and picked me up Saturday morning at around 10:00. We went to his shop, and discovered some mechanical issue's that needed to be addressed. Nick and his team spent most of the day working to resolve these issue's that had nothing to do with them or the work that they had performed, but they wanted to make my car right. Unfortunately we ran out of time Saturday. So again, they arranged to get me to the hotel and picked me up again on Sunday morning. Back to the shop where we finished correcting the issue's. And then we spent hours on the dyno to finish the tune, and also made several laps around the area, then back on the dyno.

Here's the kicker, I was to arrive on Friday and leave on Saturday. But Nick and his team went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND to see that my car got what was needed and even stayed late Saturday and came in again on Sunday.

I couldn't ask for more. The car runs and drives better then ever!

I have never heard of anyone being disappointed at Williams. It might be that their numbers were lower than expected but I bet their car drove like a dream!!!

I'd like to plan another trip that way and check out the Biltmore Estates, then swing by Nick's shop again just to check out more of the badass cars at his shop. Always some nice stuff there.

I was fortunate to see Travis's (T-bones goat) GTO being finished up with a new motor and a giant Procharger. Actually got a couple rides in it, what a beast!

My car has never run better!!

Dropped my car off last week and there were some gorgeous badass Goats in there with some big horsepower. I feel like I own a 4 banger when I lurk Williams Performance.
