The people who read magazines and believe every printed word on its pages need to get onto the internet and do some research. 7/10 times mosts ads are mis-leading or flat out marketing lies. Primedia would lose tons of cash each month if they did a subjective test on all the suspensions out on the market.

But I'll toss my products into the ring if they decide to go for it.

Tyler:

I know you would toss your products into the challenge as they are proven and top notch.

As long as the companies weren't lying about their products, the exposure would probably be worth a lot of $$$ in sales.

This said, why does the Engine Masters Challenge Succeed?

Wouldn't they expose the same things from the people who entered their contest?

How would you propose something like this taking place?

I really think the people who were Bull Sh*tting about their products would simply NOT show up. They could then still advertise, and their would not be any bad press about them.

Thanks for the reply, I'm looking forward to your insight.
