Pretty obvious the blog was an attempt to make DP look bad. ...

I don't know anything about Dallas Performance, but after reading the owners thread I believe every word he typed. It sounds like the classic case of a guy with too much testosterone and more money to burn than he know what to do with. You got the shop owner selling his soul and bending over backwards to do right by an abusive know it all customer who has major spending power. You can't feed the bears bc this is the **** they do!

Those cars in that link look clean. It looks like the stuff he shows that is screwed up was done at another shop. Dallas Performance looks like a top notch shop

People who are not loyal Alex for $100.

These people want freebies and hand outs and then bash you when it's not your fault.

What are Ho's.

Everything I ever heard of Dallas Performance has always been good. The car stuff just seems to attract drama queens who want nothing but attention. When one audience gets tired of their ****, they appeal to another.

Speculation on another Dallas forums that the negative publicity was a stunt to gain positive publicity and show craftsman ship.

Lol, what would get more attention? A post in a forum about their stage 3 special or a bunch of drama to draw users in?

Taylor installed a nitrous kit in my neighbors 350z when we were in highschool. Even back then his wiring and craftsman ship was top notch.

To me is sounds like the Lambo owner is a hamfisted hack... Leave the work to the pros and take their advice when given.... They are telling you not to beat on the ****, you still do, it breaks, then you blame them..

What a tool....

Sounds like DP did everything they could to rectify this mess... Out of the $130k DP received, Taylor probably still lost money on this ordeal..

BUT, that is all part if the high performance car business.. Sux for both parties involved..

With my dealings with Dallas performance I can tell you this, parts do not come in a timely manner so I can believe that there was a long wait for the owner of the lambo. Now the wiring, I'm 99.9% sure Taylor would not let that car leave his shop like that

In my experience, a shop that will deal with a customer that wants to half *** **** will end up in this situation a lot. Some of the most successful shops out there will tell you, if you want to do things like such and such go see a shop down the road.

I agree with the more money than brains analogy. Sounds like a spoiled rich kid that is used to getting his stuff handed to him on a silver platter. Then throws a fit when it's not.
