RAW Performance

RAW Performance is owned and operated by my self, Richard A Wade. I am a former Army aircraft Mechanic, Inspector and Lead Instructor from Fort Eustis Army Aviation Logistics School in Virginia. While still in the Army I also completed my ASE certification in automotive maintenance with emphasis on engine management systems and electrical systems. As a certified aircraft mechanic I am trained in TIG welding of aluminum, stainless steal and titanium. This shop does not do routine maintenance or oil changes, if you need that take your car to Pep Boys. We are only here to make your car faster!

If you own a front wheel drive car and want someone to install a big wing on the back, an over sized muffler and lots of sponsorship decals on it then we are NOT the shop for you. We don't build poser cars, we build real cars!

Our Business is Speed

NEWS

RAW Performance is leaving the Newport News Virginia in the spring of 2010 and will be relocating the North Tampa/ Land O Lakes Florida. After 10 years in the Communist (un)Wealth of Virginia I can no longer tolerate the high taxes and hostility towards high performance automobiles that this state displays towards our industry. As soon as I get the new shop up and running I will update this site with the new address and contact numbers posted. Please feel free to contact me at :
