Default What Is On Your 2007 Wish List For New Products??

Hey All,

I am getting more into the R&D and parts development side of things in the business next year. I am trying to get ideas from folks of what you feel is needed at this time and in the future as far as new products or updating current products. I have the facilities and contacts to do just about anything. It can be anything from a small piece of hardware to a complete system.

Pretty much everything and anything will be considered and it can be for the F-bodies, GTO, Corvettes, Trucks, Hybrids and so on. Doesn't matter if it is engine, suspension, brakes, trans, driveline, fuel system, cooling system, supercharging, turbo packages and parts.We have been working with some of the Pro-Touring folks and the fab work there is innovative and top notch.

So PM, e-mail thevettedr@aol.com or call me at 407-616-2518 with your wants and needs. E-mail is probably the best avenue at this time and try to give at least some detail. I look forward to your input while we work on our own projects. Thanks and have a great holiday season.

Mike Norris

How about a driveshaft safety loop that fits true duals, such as Lane's and TSP?

That would be nice , Id buy one /need one , maybe a loop built off the torque arm mount. It would have to be a very rear mounting loop . Looks like the x- pipe would catch it in the front but in the rear their is nothing

Rear reproduction WS6 17x11 rims with the correct offset
instead of getting them widened and running spacers . <--dangerous without stronger wheelstuds

90mm lid for sure, would be the only one on the market.

if u could come up with a fixed headlight setup for firebirds that is actually good quality, that would be good. breathless is just too much for the cheap quality

I would be in for a set of these if they were CHROMED ( I have chromed WS6 wheels right now- got tired of the stains that my polished ones had)

Light-weight fixed head light assemblie for the Trans Am, something that would replace the whole heavy stock flip up unit. Maybe carbon fiber!

An over-the-axle true dual kit made to fit longtubes. We've all heard rumors of it, but they've all proven to be vaporware thusfar.

I remember seeing a Lingenfelter back in 98/99 with a fixed kit on the cover of a magazine (Car and Driver or Motor Trend). It looked great unlike the cheesy Breathless one offered now.

+1 if it doesnt crack easily,leak, rub etc.. hopefully someone makes this peice fast, i need one by last month.... id say one made out of true carbon fiber would be a big hit also- light and easy on the eyes.

another idea would be ls1 style steam vents to fit the ls6 and fast manifolds... i made my own but its over the manifold.. a under the manifold- very low profile but wide tubing would be nice part to have...
