“This has been real good. We couldn’t be more pleased with how the car has been running,” Patterson said. “It’s still got the stock GM tune-up just like it came with when we picked it up two weeks ago. We’ve made some changes to the suspension and, so far, we couldn’t be happier.”

Is this enough backup for you?

Both cars your quoting are NOTHING like they came from Chevy.
There is NO WAY that is the stock GM tune! Or engine,cam, gears, trans, vert, axles, driveshaft and the list goes on... They will not 1.3x 60' stock!!!

The COPO cars are fast from chevy, but again NOTHING like Cazzette or Patterson.

I'm not arguing, it's just apples and oranges comparing what comes off the floor and the cars your talking about. They are more like a BIW ground up build. More like 200k car.
