NEW INFO ON THE RIPP SUPERCHARGER., THE DREAM IS STILL ALIVE! Options

[ROMANO]

TO ALL 6 GEN GT OWNERS AUTO OR MANUAL

I SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE ENGINEERS AT RIPP MODIFICATIONS HIS NAME WAS RAY. YES IT'S TRUE ABOUT THE SUPERCHARGER BEING DISCONTINUED,BUT ONLY TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. THEY ARE WILLING TO BRING THE PROGRAM BACK TO LIFE IF WE CAN COME TOGETHER AS A GROUP OF 5 ENTHUSIASTS THAT ARE ONLY WILLING TO GAIN POWER THROUGH THE SUPERCHARGER.HE ALSO SAID YOU MUST BE PRICE COMMITTED, KNOWING THAT IN ORDER TO ACHEIVE THIS GOAL IT WOULD COST NEARLY 4,500.00 US AMERICAN DOLLARS ON EACH OF OUR PART. AND OF THAT 4,500.00 G'S YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUT A 1,000 DOLLAR DOWN PAYMENT.SO THIS IS WHAT YOUR LOOKING AT AS A GROUP- 5 INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO SPEND THAT AMOUNT, EACH PERSON PUTTING A 1,000 DOLLAR DOWN PAYMENT AND THEN FOLLOWING THROUGH.5 PEOPLE EQUAL 22,500 DOLLARS 5 PEOPLE TO PLACE A 5,000 DOLLAR DOWN PAYMENT. BEING THE FIRST GROUP TO HAVE A SUPECHARGED WRECKING CREW PRICELESS.NOW IM NOT SAYING THIS IDEA IS THE BEST OR MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAY- WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT THIS IS THE ROAD LESS TAKEN TO OZ.WE DO KNOW OF THE ENGINE SWAP AND TURBO, ALL IM SAYING IS THAT A SUPERCHARGER STILL EXISTS AS A LIVING AND BREATHING DREAM. IT'S BEEN SLEEPING FOR 2 YEARS FROM BEING DISCONTINUED, ONLY TIME WILL TELL WHEN IT WAKES UP AGAIN.

im sorry...but thats just lame. the charger was already priced too high, and now its even worse. for 4,500 you could have 3rd gen swap pushing well over 250hp at the wheels and it would be way more realibable then this kit.

if anything, i would have though they would drop the price to help move a product that didnt sell in the 1st place.
