Once again Les, you speak the truth.

Speedriven is known for creating some awesome toys. The point I was trying to illustrate in my previous post was that the majority of the projects they take on are in the tens-of-thousands... each.

One V12 upgrade kit is more revenue than this entire header group buy. That's why I had my defenses up... I don't think they are attempting a scam, I simply think it's been a low-priority build when there are much bigger fish coming in. Instead of owning up to that, they've simply said "we're working on it". If you were a business, who would you serve first? One man paying $10,000+ for a V12 upgrade? Or a group of Crossfire enthusiasts that have paid a collective $1,000 for a project with low yield?

Aleks, we will give Speedriven the benefit of the doubt and hopefully will see some numbers soon. As I mentioned on MB world, if you guys need a test mule, I'm sure one could be found fairly quickly. Hell I'd offer mine up, but the eight hour drive (one way) is a bit much.

Cheers,
