800-900 for a custom dyno tune.
If anything, I have noticed that Crossfire owners are just the opposite of cheap. Most crossfire owners stick to performance mods by TVT, NW, EC, and LET. Show me something by any of these vendors that are comparably priced to products manufactured for mass produced cars. I guess we are cheap for spending 100+ for an oil change. Or, maybe we are cheap for putting 93 octane gas in our cars instead of 87.
We own these cars knowing that it is not a car for the weak willed or cheap at heart. Inferring that Crossfire owners are cheap is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
my ***.
OMG really...i think i touched a nerve w/ you
As i will wrap up by saying at the end of this rant there are a few of us willing to pay to play.....for the rest...
Take a look at how many people build their own intakes and supercoolers vs. buy them from vendors. How many people say how cool it would be to make 400+whp but are never willing to invest their own money on ideas to try and actually make it happen. Look at how many n/a owners buy the cheap version of the crossfire and then try to go to great lenghts to make it 1/2 as fast as an srt6, yea i get it...they just wanted a little more performance my a$$.
Is it a coincidence that xfire owners bought what is basically a mercedes at half the price just because they would rather it be a "chrysler"...hmm.
How about when companies like RC Industries make phenominal pillar pods with TINY profit margins and how few they actually sell. How about all the code 3 pullies that are 1/2 the price of the LET/Renntech/ASP...im sure that has nothing at all to do with price...they just wanted less boost.
Or.....gee i want wheel spacers that work absolutely flawlessly but give me your specs rather than me paying you a few bucks extra and buying them from you for your countless hours of hardwork and measurements and you biting the bullet to chance it not working.
How about gee we all want dual stainless exhaust then it is made and advertised for $1000 plus which is completely reasonable and all the sudden you can hear crickets chirping.
Or.......how about no freakin stand alone or self programmable engine mgt. so we can really go ***** wild. I am in contact with people here that can make it happen. But like i said crossfire owners are cheap it would be pointless to offer these items, i actually tell them its not even worth it at least from a business standpoint.
HOWEVER...there are a handfull of us(probably 20 or so) who(while we may still be cheap lolololol hahaha) choose to share our knowledge and research with each other and actually are willing to spend our money to try and chase the low 12's, 11's, 10's, etc. These are the people who are constantly sending PMs behind the scenes(usually the same 20) to create a new product to come out with to make your car better.....just to find limited interest from cheap a$$ owners who arent willing to pay them for their efforts and research.
Do i really need to continue.........
