Great forum!

I am selling my beloved 03' Z06 and purchaseing a MCS used. I have a dealers lic. here in Fl allowing me to purchase at the auctions. Not my first choice when buying a sports car but I've done it in the past with only pos. results so far. It will be an 04' MCS.

My questions:
1. I have test drove approx. 10 MCS's and have noticed about 60% have a noticable bog of idle, something I did not expect from a supercharged car. Can anyone explain this and how and if it can be corrected?

2. I would be interested in JCW pkg. in the future. Does any one in Fl have a preferred dealership to have this installed? and is it complicated enough to matter? With the vette it made a huge diff. who worked on your car.

3. What other inherent problems are there with the MCS's that I should look for?

Thanks for any information you can lend. These forums are godsend. The Z06 forum helped my avoid many mistakes others had made when getting into the performance mods.

Again much thanks in advance!
