Unfortunately, that was HIS sales pitch and his reasoning behind charging so much.

I think the more apt way to put it, would be, "You can't expect a person who has only drawn up a suspension package, then had someone else make it, and never once tested or verified anything he designed, to work out of the box."

The mistake was those of us assuming he had.

Remember his catalog states —- he’s built 200 race cars. His later posts reveal #1 “I didn’t build this car” and #2 Nothing he had anything to do with was wrong — it was all those silly manufacturers fault. We all know exactly who spec’d out the parts and oversaw the build from day one. He was also very happy to cash the checks.

Funny, you may be the only one. He has said that countless times to many knowledgeable & talented guys - car builders, shop owners, etc.

God he was/is a douche nozzle.

In complete retrospect —— he prayed on the Freshman class...... and you think about that for a moment —- none of the fast guys or guys that have been around awhile used him for ANYTHING.... and most of them have since come to me and said flat out — we never could figure out why you used him.....

Because — I didn’t know any better.
