Farewell From A Site Supporter

[Jakez]

And when there is a new 300SRT owner/member posting a thread daily here? Farewell...

I dealt with John once and I got the best service of my life, however I purchased an off the shelf part. I also was on line during a flame towards him and his response shocked me to the core. (was quickly deleted by a responsible moderator) He obviously doesn't need us and we all know where to find him if we desire to use his talents. I suspect at least 95% of his clients have gotten good work and service. I also suspect that those who have disagreed with his timetable or quality of work have received his particular stinging use of language. Just my take with my limited knowledge.

We are not blowing off any SRT8 owners or customers. We just are not happy with the way we have been treated by the owner/operator of the site. Thus we will not support HIM.

A few years ago I recall many negative stories about Hennessey Performance Engineering, then Hennessey Motor Sports, being all over the Internet. It seems there were a lot of pissed off Viper and Vette owners out there. But for as many detractors there were defenders. Rather than read a bunch of posts from divided camps, I decided to do some research for myself. What I found was enough to formulate my own opinion.

I would suggest that anyone desiring more information to use one of many Internet search engines and read for yourself. The Better Business Bureau is also a good source of information but it can be stale.

I will disagree with the mentality about having to have "first hand" experience before forming an opinion. I don't have to experience my hand being blown off by a grenade to know that it might be a bad thing to hold on to one for too long. I can read about these experiences and form my own opinion.

In the software business, they call it "vaporware." The process of "leaking" information about upcoming products and promising delivery "shortly" in order to keep people from jumping on a competitor's bandwagon.

I have never seen more posts about great projects, and high horsepower, promising dynos to prove gains - which were ultimately never delivered - than from this "former" site sponsor.

Here's a list of products promised, just from my own recollections. Let me know what I missed.

Headers
Intake porting
Head porting
Supercharger
Turbocharger
Stroker kit
Intake (version 1)
Intake (version 2)
Stall converter

Promises, promises, promises. Show me a car on the track. Show me a 1/4 mile slip. Better yet - show me one from a paying customer.

I just wish a couple of other "site supporters" weren't coddled in the face of honest challenge.

Good riddance.

Free Speech? You guys are crazy. In this country you are only free to speak and put in print what you know to be true. If what you speak or print is not factual, or you are unable to prove them factual, and, that speech or print causes someone harm, you are at risk of civil and criminal penalties; we Americans also have the right to be free from Libel and Slander.

The Internet is NOT a free zone for these laws to be broken. In fact, Section 113 of H.R. 3402, the "Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005," goes so far as to make it a Federal crime to trash someone online without disclosing your real name, as well as using the internet to harass people or otherwise cause intentional harm to them.

If someone wants to post negative comments about their first hand experience with someone else, they need to make their identity known. If they are lying, they are risking legal action. If this forum's owners allow it to take place, they are liable as well.

Strange how the Free Speech people don't complain when retailers are charged a fee before they're allowed to post here. Few things are truly free.
