Seven hours, I drove three days one way from Washington state to have him tweak my z. That was five years ago and going strong!

Marc Haibec is truly a great individual and an irreplaceable asset to our community.
My only wish is that i had a buttload more disposable cash to throw his way, i'd dearly love one of his 510 packages, or maybe a big cube stroker LT5. A guy can dream.
If i ever hit the lottery, itd be the first thing i'd do.
Having said that, after being a small part of this august community for almost 20 years, i can honestly say that from my vantage point there's not a bad egg in this entire group.
Everyone here are stand up guys, ready to help anytime.

Congrats to all, but my hat is off for Mr. Haibec and all he does for our community.

It appears that the car sat without a lot of attention for some time. There are a number of little issues that I'm in the process of resolving. One of the issues is a gas gauge that is stuck on full - but my range readout is accurate, so it's not a big deal. However, I want to make this car as perfect as possible and am fixing replacing everything as necessary. This is one for which I had no solution, because I have no idea as to what the problem might be. It was recommended to me that I reach out to Marc Haibeck, ZR-1 Specialist.

I sent an email last night, not expecting that I would receive a response anytime soon - or even at all - considering a need of such minor importance. To my surprise, I had a response email from Marc in my Inbox this morning when I checked my emails. UNBELIEVABLE! This guy not only responded quickly to my meager request, but he knew the issue and provided me with a couple solutions. This guy is certainly the foremost authority on ZR-1s, no doubt...but he's also superb in his customer service.

Even though I'm about 7 hours from Marc's shop, I'm considering taking my car to him now to get the work done and have him look it over. I'd like him to do all my work. What a great guy!
What a love fest! Everything said is true of course. The reason you got an email quickly is he does his emailing around 2 AM. His day starts around 10:30 AM (son Bob is there earlier) and he always works late into the night, especially when he is road testing his 510+ HP creations on the local roads around the industrial park his shop is in. If you are a new owner I would strongly recommend you make an appointment to ship your car to Marc when he can get to it. I did that on both my ZR-1s when I got them, and asked him to fix whatever is needed plus make a few changes I wanted. He will examine the entire car and make recommendations on what is needed. He will change all the fluids and filters. He found things on my cars that I would never have even thought to ask about and took care of them. And always his prices are extremely reasonable. When you get your car back you will have no worries about it at all. Except that you will start dreaming about 510 HP, 4.10 gears, headers, short throw shifters and things like that. You will wake up in the middle of the night screaming: I NEED those things! That is your primary risk in dealing with Mr. ZR-1. --Bob

I have owned three ZR-1's and Marc has had his hands on all three. I live in Michigan and it takes me four and a half hours to drive to his place. I gladly drive or trailer the car to him and drop it off. I learn a lot about my car and it gives me the chance to see what others are doing, when I'm in his shop. Great guy to work with.

You'll never regret having Marc work on your ZR-1.

Dittos on everything said so far! And, too there's Pete Polatsidis too that is only minutes away from Marc. If I were to characterize the two, (to me) Marc and hi son make up a pair that are more comprehensive in terms of overall maintenance to serious LT5 mods, whereas Pete I think of as skewed more toward the LT5 end of things - tuning, bore/stroke, drive train. (Marc/Pete - correct me if I'm wrong!)

Great practitioners, BOTH of 'em! They together make the FBI (Fast Boyz of Illinoiz) what it is (along with other talented souls i.e., -=Jeff=-, and Dominic and Bob Gilig...to name a few!).

Mark finished working on my car about a month ago. He did his 510 package, coilover suspension, and took care of a few smaller issues. It took a little longer than planned, but he does beautiful work and is very meticulous. More than once he thanked me for giving him the time to do everything right. I am very happy with the results, the car runs great with a lot more power, and now everything has been looked over by a professional it's like a new car. Like said before you'll never regret having him work on your baby. Jim

I miss being able to get together to hear Marc & Pete
talk about the ZR-1 and LT5 in person. Chicago, Bowling
Green, & Las Vegas. The good old days...
