You forgot to mention the Wild Bill factor. They *might* work on that car if you do not tell them your username here.

Whats the problem? It isn't like Houston doesn't have several other shops that'll work on them.

Tony's outline covers about all the reasons why the do not.

Though what Jayson doesn't know yet is that you all are going to start doing Porsche work now too!

That's what I was going to say... about them phasing out LT1 work a few years back.

Damn. I got my car dyno'd when I had just bolt ons by them. I enjoyed the experience and wanted to go back for my dyno tune with the cam I just installed. Are you guys not tuning fbodies anymore either? I'm not complaining and understand the change but just curious if you are closing out your tuning service to f-body cars as well...

Since when did you keep cars pristine and low mileage?

I bet they will do work on the new camaros when they come out That is going to be a big money maker...

It always comes down to the mighty dollar.

They will. It's not like they're trying to ban Camaros... They're just saying that recently a majority of the f-bods coming in are all jacked up and difficult to work on. ie. cars that have MAJOR body issues, bent frames, needing to get headers installed.. they're impossible to fit. Most f-bods have busted motor mounts that the owner doesn't want to pay to get fixed and **** like that which just becomes more of a headache than anything for MTI at some point..

I don't like the decision either but it's a good business decision IMO none the less since they will after all work on long-time customer's cars anyway
