Bortous, sorry to hear you've had several experiences with American businesses where a rude sales person picked up the phone.
That's definitely a poor business practice.
If it's a recorded line inforning the manager or ownerattention may help. After excellent service for years, I had a very bad Hagerty insurance agent. The recorded call was reviewed by the manager. Next interaction the agent behaved in a professional manner. Even the rude voice mail intro had been revised.
Sadly, some folks in the US are rude out of bad habits combined with ignorance. They don't realize it because it's second nature to them.

I had one other experience with another shop the other day too.
They had an ls7 head and cam package that makes about 640rwhp and I just wanted to know the amount of overlap that camshaft has so I can get an idea on the driveability.
He refused to answer such a basic question and then told me overlap has nothing to do with driveability which is a bunch of bull.
Go figure.

I know a place in the USA where you can make good use of them.
You can have guns here but there are strict rules.
You need to conquer your fears and come here to Australia.
All those poisonous species you fear I have never seen them in person.

Which is why I recommend premium economy seat at a minimum.
The longest flight is from Australia to Rio Del Janeiro
32 hours including a 4 hour stop over

The trip is worth it if you can save up for the travel costs and required time off to see the country.
Most dangerous thing I saw was a little red flower in the woods. Same rules as other rainforests I've been through, don't touch what you can't identify.

Darth I agree with you totally, BUT the intake tested wasn’t the final product, as your well aware. Personally I’m let down. I love data. Crave data, but the data in that comparison will differ from the final product. I’m not really sure why Comp sent the prototype out for the test, knowing that social media was watching and eagerly waiting for results that aren’t up to snuff (I’m hoping) with the final product. Surely they have tested the prototype previously in house?? Blows my mind to think that Fast doesnt or didn’t have their production unit ready for this test. I believe that fnbad said that they had this in their possession for a couple months. Sorry for this rant guys. Not my style to gripe or complain.
