Lutzo does the best job on setting up race cars: http://dpmotorwerks.com

Steve Marchione does good touch up paint work: 757 450-4082 - tell Steve you were given his phone number by Alex @ Checkered Flag

Lutzo is used to working on Porsches. You can also try Brady in Newport News - Skip can tell you the name of his place....I forgot

Glad Steve worked out for you

I travel down to Custom Car Care from Fredericksburg. Brady and Kellen have always done my car right. I wouldn't dismiss Alex's guy though even if it's more than what you need/want.

He's looking for corner weighting/balancing. It is a bit different than an alignment. The shop has to have scales and other equipment to get the job done.

He is? He only states in his first post about alignment and went on to complain that he was getting alignments for $80 in California at West End. A spec'd alignment at Custom is $125, corner-weighting another $200 or more(can't remember).

All that and the thread poster never shared for what type of application he intended to use his car.
