As for all the parts I am looking at supplying I will build the prototye/supply specs and have my suppliers/manufacturers in the american car market mass produce the parts, that is why I want to know demand before I spend alot of time and money to sell only 2 of say the driveshafts or whatever.... not worth my time loosing money.
While you seem legit, I would advise you to get your first product ie stall converter on the market and on a vehicle to test. You have to understand that these cars are not the typical GM or ford where anybody can make a part and it works correctly. Not saying that you are not aware of this and don't know what you are doing, its just that MB parts always seem to have a problem with the ecu or something interfearing with normal operations. Me personally (not trying to tell you how to run your business) I would do the stall converter and drive shaft and stop there till I could get it installed on a SRT6 and to the track for real world testing. Your not going to get the number of sales you are looking for until members can see that your product works #1 and theres no adverse reactions from the ecu or whatever #2. Just my .02 to try save you from investing way too much off the bat.
