Maybe the other people are still feeling out the market before they do their R&D in order to see if their product would sell. Not everyone is buying the 8 with plans to increase its performance. It would be wise to figure out 1. how many are actually on the road and 2. what percentage of those people would be interested in performance products. You wouldn't want to devote a big R&D team to a product that would increase the performance of vehicle A if there's only 1,000 on the road with only 2% of those people wanting to fix it up, especially when vehicle B has 100,000 on the road, and 75% of the people would be interested in increased performance. At least that's a reason I could come up with.

When I said it was going to be pretty simple, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a simple task. It's still hard work but we've completed projects that were very difficult and that has taken over year to figure out. Compared to other projects we have done, I was relatively speaking.

The RX8 is a project that we will do. The only question I have (for myself) is when it will be completed. There are so many variables that determine a completion date.

I was speaking for the big companies he mentioned. Rotary specialists are what keep the market fresh for us since not all of the big guys do a lot of heavy research. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm interested in some safe, conservative modding for my 8.
