At Vengeance Racing, we appreciate the input and feedback that our customers
provide to us. Below are some comments that we have received from our
customers.
After having a local guy tune my car for the past 3 years and having constant issues,
I decided it was time for a change. I didn't feel comfortable having anybody else local
tune it because of other people's experience's that I heard. After 3 months of reading
and talking to other people I decided it was time to load the car up and take it to VRD.
I took my car down to Vengeance back in Nov of 08 because I was having severe issues with
my tune in my car. So bad that I never drove the car because I'd be sooooo pissed off.
The car was detonating on a 150 shot, pushing coolant, never idle, buck, surge in all gears,
idle would rev to 2500rpms coming off the hwy when the clutch was pushed in, just a real mess.
As soon as I pulled up to VRD, I was impressed. Shop full of badass cars, extremely clean and
organized. I knew I was in good hands, but now I REALLY knew. After spending 2 days with them,
my car left making 45RWHP more than the previous tune and had perfect drivability. I could
actually drive the car around town and enjoy it. Mike, Ron and Charlie went above and beyond
what they had to do to help me out while I was down there to get my car done. Sadly, 2 months
after I got back home, I had a house fire and lost my camaro. I never got to take the car to
the track to see the gains. Fast forward to today, I bought a newer camaro and guess what,
it's in VRD's hands getting a new motor and a bunch of other things. If anybody reading this
can relate to my horibble experience's, pick up the phone and call them, VRD won't disappoint you!!!!!!!!

Where to start? A long strange trip it's been..... to be sure.
I've known Mike and Ron for a long time.... dating back before the GMMG days.
At the time, I owned a 2000 Pewter H/C/bolt on TransAm. After several self built
combo's, I had VR build and install an L92/TFS headed 416" stroker motor for
the car.
Buddy's care/attention to detail during the build was impeccable, and along w/Mike's
tuning the net result exceeded what I was sold. The car made 550/505 through an A3
and stingy driveline.... and went on to run a 10.32@133 @ 3570lbs NA on it's first
outing.
To their disappointment, I sold the car before we were able to get a clean nitrous
pass and prove what it really could do, knowing low 9's were not out of the question.
But, fear not, I had bigger plans for the VR crew..... they just weren't aware of
it yet.
I purchased a tube chassis/big tire car that came w/an old EFI BBC . I asked Ron if
they were comfortable with a make over, consisting of an iron LSX with the ability
to ingest enough gas(and LIVE)to make Hitler blush, along whole lot of custom work.
This was not VR's typical bread and butter build by any stretch. Everything on this
car is custom/one off..... from the measured/trimmed motor and mid plates, to the
fabbed Alt. bracket, to the fabricated gauge cluster down to the complete re-wiring
and added custom bracing to the already 8.50 cert. chassis.
I was looking for a low 8 sec. STREET car.
It would've been easy for Ron to say "We don't get into that type of custom work",
but instead, after looking at the car, and consulting w/Mike and Buddy, I was told
"We got this".
Once again, Vengeance stepped up to the plate, and is in the final stages of producing
a low 8 sec. car that will run on pump gas(and LIVE!!!)
I'm known locally for taking great pride in doing my own work and being as anal as
they come when it comes to my cars.... but, if you're looking for the highest quality
of work available, the highest degree of customer service, the most "bang" for your
buck, and the long lost art of honesty and integrity in a speed shop....
Vengeance Racing sets the standards by which ALL others are judged.

Vengeance R&D is the best of the best. They can tune anything and build
anything. Ron provides great customer service, the best out there. Mike did a great
job on tuning my car. If you are scared to run your car hard then take it to
Vengeance because Mikes tune's are bullet proof. If you feel there is more in
your car, then there is, so take it to Mike and you will be surprised. If your car
drives like crap then have Mike tune it. Also thanks to Buddy and Charlie for all
that they did to my car.

Won't give you the long written out version of my experience with the guys at
Vengeance! I figure I can sum it up in a few words. If you're looking to make your car
do what you always dreamed of and want it done by guys that share the passion and
treat yours as if it was there own, then stop playing around and take it to Vengeance,
period! Oh, they even changed my wiper blades! Thanks guys! See you soon!

Last Friday my friend (mattl31) and i both ordered cams, springs,
and pushrods from Ron at Vengeance after calling and bugging him 4 or 5 times
asking opinions and pricing. He took our order at almost 6PM, which impressed me,
( i thought they'd be gone). Well Monday my friend gets a call from Ron saying
that the dual springs we ordered were back-ordered, so Ron upgraded us for FREE!
Aside from having EXCELLENT customer service, the prices we received at Vengeance
were the lowest around. On top of that, the cams and everything arrived today in
the mail. 2 Days after it shipped!
I can't wait to do a tandem install on the cams and hit the track mid-march when
it opens. Overall, i would give Ron, and everyone at Vengeance an A++++++++++++
rating. Thanks!

I was looking into buying a Fast92/92 setup but wasnt sure who to go to.
Well i called Vengeance Racing up and spoke to Ron and their customer service
was top notch, so I decided to invest in their ported Fast 92/92 setup. and i went
from having 442rwhp to 462rwhp. That is a 20rwhp gain over an LS6 intake. My tuner
says that is by far the biggest gain he has seen with a ported system over a LS6.
Guys thanks for putting quality behind your work and you will be getting more of my
business. So guys if your wondering who to deal with, give these guys a try.

I really enjoy spending my money with the kind of customer service and
friendliness i get from Ron, Mike, Buddy and Charlie... Ron was really patient
and answered all of my 1001 questions I had about getting the new rearend (Strange S60)
... He also went out of his way to help me get a set of rims and tires for my car...
the crew over at Vengeance is top notch and I look forward to doing more business
with them in the future...THANKS GUYS!

After having another shop total my previous car, I was uneasy about letting
anyone perform modifications to my Corvette. However, after speaking
with Ron and being invited to view their facilities, I knew that my project
was in the right hands. Buddy spent countless hours engineering an unorthodox
combination of performance parts, and Mike's tuning ability produced a
809 RWHP/755 RWTQ beast that has superior driveability. The service and
communication to the customer before and after the sale from Vengeance Racing is
unmatched in this industry. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Vengeance Racing
for their superior commitment to their customers!

Hands down some of the most knowledgeable and helpful guys in the industry
no question about it. Ron and Mike have helped me with every question and concern
I've had. There should be more guys like this in the industry.
Thanks Guys!!

My experience with Vengeance has been a good one. I went to them with a goal
of building a 11.5 sec car on bottle and they produced one that could do it on motor.
They put together a great package and their support after the sale has been a great
experience as well.

I sent the V to one of the most reputable shops on the East Coast for the build,
Vengeance Racing. These guys know their shit and impressed me, especially after
I made it down there and checked out their setup. They have the cleanest shop I
have ever seen in my life!! These guys built my V right!!! Thanks Vengeance Racing!!!
If you’re interested in their shop give them a call and speak to the
General Manager Ron Mowen.

When I wanted to have some performance work done on my Z06, I had no idea who
I would use. I don’t just trust my car to anyone, plus I am a very anal person!
I had talked with a few people at car shows, who recommended me to some shops in Georgia.
I wished at this point in time that I had heard of Vengeance Racing, it would have saved
me a great deal of time and stress. I visited quite a few shops and I have to say I was
not impressed. I kept seeing dirty shops, inexperienced staff, just plain non-professional
people and some shops looked as if they were about to go out of business. Each shop had
1 to 4 bragging rights cars, but when I would talk with some of their customers, I
would hear a ton of horror stories. It was then I knew that I was going to have to send
my car out of state to have it built. I was at a car show and walk by a Trans Am.
It really caught my eye because the engine compartment looked really clean and awesome.
All the nitrous lines, fuel lines, wiring, and motor was installed perfect! I got to
talking with the guy who owned the car and he told me that Vengeance Racing had built his
car. He gave me the phone number and told me to ask for Ron. I called Vengeance on
Friday afternoon and told Ron that I would like to come by and see their shop. I
explained to him that due to my business travel, Saturdays would be the best for me.
He told me that they were going to Macon to race that night, but he could meet me Saturday.
I knew that it was going to be a late night for them, so I was really moved that Ron would
come in on his day off. I went over there the next day and met with Ron. From the
moment I walked into the shop I was impressed. The shop was clean and organized.
All the cars I saw were not just bolt on cars, they were built Turbo, Supercharger,
Nitrous and NA cars. By seeing the parts they use and seeing the quality of the builds,
there was no doubt that they knew what they were doing. Ron was up front with me and he
was not arrogant. At the end of the visit I told him I would have to get back with him
after I had a chance to see what I could do money wise. Later that day I read everything
on the web about Vengeance. I couldn’t find anything but happy customers. There were
some cases with issues, but EVERYTIME Vengeance stood behind their work and made it right.
It was several months before I could pull the trigger, but in that time, Ron would e-mail
to see if there was anything he could do. I dropped my car off a few months later and
the rest is history. I am completely satisfied with Vengeance Racing! There were some
setbacks with my build, but everything came together and worked out for the best.
Ron did a great job putting together a great combination, he is the man! Buddy is an
excellent mechanic! He pays attention to every detail and he knows his stuff. Mike is
not only a Master Tuner, but a great mechanic! The whole Vengeance team are a Top Notch
group of people and very down to earth with a lot of talent! I just wished they had more
time to just sit back and shoot the breeze, but I understand they are in business to
make a living. Vengeance is not the cheapest shop in town, but when it comes to quality
and performance, you don’t want to cut corners. You get what you pay for! The team at
Vengeance knows what works and what doesn’t. There is no telling how many hours of R&D
they have spent. With Vengeance Racing, you get the whole package. I am a Vengeance
customer for life!

I have been doing business with VR for 2 years now; they are a top notch shop,
very professional and knowledgeable staff. They have always taken good care of my SS
from the minor to the major. They do exactly what they say they are going to do with
prompt timing and very fair pricing and that’s very important with so many other shops
out there that are way over priced and under delivered. This is one shop that I can be
confident in and trust with my business.

The Vengeance team is exceptionally friendly and professional. The Vengeance
facilities are top notch and their work is outstanding. I've brought my car to them
several times and always been very satisfied with the results. Whether you are a
gearhead or don't really know your way around under the hood, the guys will take
the time to talk to you about your car and explain the whole process. They really
care about their customers and the cars. They have great knowledge of GM engines,
and know how to get the most out of your car. The bottom line is that they can make
your car fast... very fast. Beware if you have a heart condition or live near
a police station, after Vengenace is done with your car, you won't be able to keep
your foot off the gas!

I was glad to hear that a tuning shop was coming to the Cumming area.
I'd not known Ron and Mike before and when I stopped by to see them soon after they
opened they gave me a full tour of their shop and shared their plans for building
the business as if I'd known them for years. My Corvette is a daily driver and
they've helped me build a car that still has good street manners but can also
tear up a 10 second quarter mile!! In my experience with Vengeance they have a
pretty simple approach to success: do quality work and provide great customer service.
The Vengeance Team has done an excellent job of standing behind everything they
installed and maintain on my Corvette,and have even opened at night and on weekends
to accomodate my work schedule!
