Near Orlando you have Norris Motorsports ( I think the name has changed but someone will correct me I'm sure), Ecklers in Titusville, not that far away.

Anyone else want to chime in here?

Antivenom is not too far from Orlando. If you come all the way from Finland what's another hour.

These folks are right beside Roger's Corvette (Corvette Dealer) and Burke's Corvette (Body/Paint/Resto) and they do mechanicals....so you have three services within 100' of each other:

Thanks for info.
You really are lucky people to have so many vette shops
I just hope that my plane would not be too heavy on my way back

Ecklers is just 15-20 minutes east of Orlando. http://www.ecklers.com/ContactT.asp?

Not sure how much performance stuff they carry though... good luck.

Very little to none I believe. They do more restoration and replacement parts.
