You can prove nothing because you don't understand math and statistics. Cars come into you shop because they break, so all you see are the cars that are broken. And of course, every car breaks, including Asian ones, which is why they're in your shop. What you can't say is what the reliability...

I agree, they're a great vendor, which is why I thought the indifferent attitude to pump numbers was a bit uncharacteristic, that's all. I'm not saying they should go immediately put pump gas in their car when its not ready for it. And if pump numbers are eventually coming, great, because that's...

No what. I'm simply pointing out that there is interest in pump numbers and they don't seem to get that people want pump numbers so they can buy a kit, possibly from Lethal. If were some Joe schmo, then its understandable, but seems odd for a business to be ambivalent about that kind of interest.

Read? They basically said they don't feel running pump gas and therefore no pump gas numbers.

Um, do have any plans to sell this kit to the public? I think its kinda strange that a bunch of potential customers are asking for something, and a business is like, meh, nah, we don't feel like it :shrug:

I for one, think this is great news. If it does indeed, match or come very close to the GT350, that's good for everyone. It gives a more affordable performance option to the rest of the world, and frankly it will push Ford to do better. Competition is a good thing. Second, it may help get...

Torque moves the car, but HP determines how much torque a car can generate as it MOVES. Torque without RPM is meaningless. A bulldozer can generate 2000 ft-lbs....but only at low rpms. So if I simply described an engine as max torque: 2000 ft-lbs, you would not be able to determine what its 1/4...

What a load of crock. Fast acceleration is PART of being a good track car. A formula 1 car isn't built for straights, but it sure as hell is fast in a straight line. An 800hp F1 car is a 7 second car. Find me a specialized drag car with 800hp that can hit that. Nobody. Snow, gas mileage...

California govt sucks balls, but CA is the most populous state in the union at 38.8 million people. NC? 9.9 million. You do the math.

Why? What's the danger of redlining a TT coyote?

All the examples are different, obviously, but they have one thing in common - taking advantage of an artificial or temporary scarcity to make a quick buck. There have been many non car luxury items that were initially rare. Remember the Nintendo Wii? Every time it was individuals trying to...

Yes, you basically can pay out of pocket the extra markup over appraisal, aka msrp, but a bank itself won't lend beyond appraisal because they're not stupid...well, not as stupid as before. I don't want laws on price fixing. I just want to rescind the BS laws that outlawed the other side of the...

They're different, but linked. If no one can buy your "ADM" marked up house because no bank will grant the loan, you will be forced to reduce it, even if there are crazy buyers who want to get a mortgage for a 40% markup on the house. My point is that even housing which is supply and demand...

Free market? Its not as free as you think. Once again, no response to the whining the dealers did to get direct sales outlawed? They whined to remove a competitor out of the playing field. So don't get all snooty and superior on whining. Yeah, we're whining about ADM. But that's all we do, whine...

Dealerships wouldn't have to go out of business if they simply changed and adapted to the competition. A manufacturer selling direct will always sell at MSRP, not under and not over. So if a dealer can be efficient, they will be able to sell under and therefore always have customers. This is the...
