Great show guys.

LOL, the unedited part in the middle there was funny.
We do the same stuff on our podcast when we mess up.

 

Whooops! That wasn't supposed to be in there - we missed an edit. It's been updated.

 

Indeed, great show guys. A thank you to Pete for answering those questions.

 

As alway....I enjoy your show!! Thanks guys!!

I was thinking that there was a Pedders meet, and show and tell in South Texas sometime this fall....please tell me more. Is there anyway to have Pedders kits installed before or after this meet.

I have less than a month before my New Camaro comes in....I'm sure it will benifit from a suspension tune!! I just don't know which one yet!!

Thanks,

Texhoss

 

LOL on the F-bomb. You'd better send a PM the MrClean. I did flinch when I heard it. As to Pete's answers -- what a great job. He is a great interview.

 

Apologies for that. We really didn't mean to let that one slip!

 

Great set of shows, as always!
Hey, when Pete gets around to heading to the track, I'd like to know. I'd like to see how my 25 year old third-gen holds up behind his G8.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but how big a tire will a 20x12 hold?
Also, do we know what size tires will fit on the Camaro?
Wheels are onr thing but tire size is where it is at.

 

From what I can tell, the typical tire size for a 12-inch wide wheel is 335-30-ZR20 and they run about $490 apiece for Michelin Sport Pilot PS2, which is a 28 inch diameter tire.

Another size, with slightly smaller overall diameter is the 345-25-ZR20. It's a 27 inch tall tire with a section width of almost 14 inches. Pirelli makes some at $565 apiece.

...put those on all four corners!

 

We are planning to have a Peddersfest in Fredericksburg, Texas October 30 - November 1, 2009. This is where we host our annual Dealer Meeting. We have our best USA dealers and the Award Winning AU Dealers along with a select group of Key Corporate People. Since we have them all together, we came up with the idea of a Peddersfest for our clients. Friday night is a check and social evening. Saturday is a Show and Shine, Sunday will be a cruise in the Hill Country or a motorsport event. Since it Halloween is Saturday, Saturday evening will be a Halloween Party.

The Host Hotel is very cool and on a working runway. you can walk right out of the hotel to the tarmac. This is right next door to Lady Bird Johnson State Park which is where they hold Goatfest. These are late model GTO owners that flock to this location generally pulling in more than 100 cars.

The general idea is that as long as we have a group of really dedicated Dealers on site we should probably have our dedicated clients join the party after we complete our business. We have a lot of work to do to pull this together and should be announcing details in July.

To directly answer the question about a Texas Meet and Greet along with service, American Muffler is our Dealer that is less than a mile from the Hanger Hotel. With so many of our Dealers around we will absolutely be doing 28 Point Inspections and Pedders Suspension Upgrades during the event. The details of the event are not yet complete, but there will be an event.

 

Tire and wheel; sizes are not yet locked down. As we play with lowered track setups I'll get back to all of you on what we consider to be the optimal wheel and tire package for the Camaro.

 

Sweet please make a not of it here. (easy for subscribers). I will be looking forward to it.
