I heard that they are getting out of the performance car scene and have gotten into selling cars.

That shop is a COMPLETELY different shop and not the same place. That is MTI out of Ga. MTI out of Texas is the one he is refering too. Two different places two different shops. Last I knew they are selling cars.

Dunno about anywhere else but just in this area alone they closed 2 Chevrolet Dealers, I cannot see how going into selling cars right now is such a good idea. But I was never able to confirm they sell cars, just googled MTI in Texas and it pulls up used cars.

The original MTI in Houston no longer exists. It's now: http://www.mtimotorcars.com/

I read somewhere the former employees now work at different local shops, but check the Texas section to make confirm.
