Default "A.R.D." anyone know what that is?

Out on Saturday night and decide to see if my old WS6 TA was in the apartment complex parking lot that it is listed to be in with it's new owner. Didn't have to look hard, it was parked outside the complex gates, right there in the front. Anyway it was my old car, the chip on the front of the hood between the nostrils was still there, he's changed the exhaust, got rid of my loud mouth exhaust, can you believe that? Anyway he had a sticker in the back window A.R.D., can't pull up anything on it.

Anyone know the ride? The owner? What A.R.D. stands for??

Advanced Racing Dynamics I belive. What APT was it in, that might help find the owner. I have a few ideas.

Hi Kim!
I did a search too with no results. Maybe it's his name? Was it like gangster style lettering? Could be that he and his buddies made a local car club. Speaking of local car clubs... Kim I think that you should slap a big ol' B.C. on the back of your corvette... "Beltway Cruzers"

Contractkiller is the winner. Thoses guys do pretty good work from what I have seen at G-force. They use them for tunning. The guy is a little strange, but very nice none the less. Seemed very proud of there 408's. He is real big into useing coatings on everything in the motors think it is a pretty small shop. I liked talking to him and comparing ides etc...That is all I can really tell you.

I used this shop to build my wifes blown ls1 and my 86 Iroc ls1 conversion. top notch place and stands behind everything they do. great builder of 4l60's also. he puts a one year warranty on all motors and trannies i think also. just had a cage done in my 86 by him and it was awesome

i guess when one bay garage's start having 5000 sq ft with two lifts, storage for 12 cars inside of it and two bay doors with a porting room and tranny room and a second floor then thats what they got

only reason you dont hear about them more on here is because they are not a sponsor and everytime one of these threads gets going it gets deleted or locked

Because people start posting up their contact info, which is not allowed unless they're a sponsor.


Peace,
