from what i heard w2w went out of business, but the main players there are working under the new name motorcityspeed. michigan has been in the tank for so long now, most performance shops can barely stay open, the only ones that are really around are ones that do a lot of regular maintenance work in addition to performance stuff. the big shops just dont have enough work to meet their overhead.

No new pictures as of yet, might be some available in the future. The car fabrication is getting finished by Denny Dera at his own shop, then it will get a twin turbo LS engine installed with Dera headers and intercooling plumbing I would guess.
Motorcityspeed I believe is Billy Brigg's new shop, it has engine and chassis dyno's getting installed. Billy was our engine build leader, Rich Gala is going to work on the dyno's, he was our retail tuner at W2W. One of the tech's that did part installs and engine changes is also working out of that shop (Jim Bell).
