A general comment here... there is NO way Wade and Fern could have come back from their financial struggles to open up a new shop, continue to live in their homes and make ends meet, if they were giving out massive discounts and loss leaders away.

A general coment here...For any type of business to survive they also need promo, promo costs money hence the discounts that the obvious FTR pimps on here are recieving.
For example, you take offense to Poncho's comments yet using the term "Froggy Boy" is okay with you, not to mention okay with the moderators? What's up witht that?

This thread is total BS!!!!!!!!! The name calling is getting childish!
Jim all my customers get treated equaly the same no special deals for no one, we are not in the business to lose money. Whats nice about this is my customers actually understand that!!!!!! So enough with the pimping comments.

For the record all of my parts and services from FTR were paid in full, I wouldn't expect it any other way. Wade and Fern are starting a new business and I'd like to see them prosper.
Sorry Eugenio that your thread got dragged into this, I'm staying out of his childish games from here on.

I think your blower on those 40C degree days would not be as reliable as Dons N/A motor on those days!
Dude, Matts motor is almost 5 years old ( never been out of the car since built ) on a budget build LT1 with factory heads, intake throttle body and a used blower on it from 1996, that's fricken amazing! How many motors has Don gone through in the past 5 years yet alone cars?
I think Matt wins the " reliable " factor hands down.

As for the argument about being street. If you drive in the summer with it, as a daily driver, then its streetable, if the car just stayed in the garage until track days and got trailored back and forth and never driven on the street ever, then you have an argument.

If the cops ever pull him over for anything they will pull his plates and good luck getting them back.

You gotta remember too, unlike NOS cars he's under boost everytime he steps into it. He can't just show up at the track with a huge shot of NOS and get it to work a few times so that he can say "Hey I went xx.x which is faster than you" His power adder has to work EVERYTIME at ALL times for his combo to work right yet alone last 5 year.

Don't be a dumbass... I drove my car all summer and have been pulled over a couple of times... I only had 1 issue and it was emissions related... aside from the rollbar, the car does not look or sound that radical with the cutout closed through the stock muffler... it stock on the outside and the interior does not look gutted... running high boost requires some prep work as well... we'll see who has thier acts together next season

These days, we can very quickly see who is bullshitting and/or puts together crappy engines. It's easy to see that anywhere in the US now, because the scene is much more educated than it was seven years ago.
Bickering like this pretty much reduces all of your (all you guys) credibility. The net effect is that none of you are trusted.
