No really Jak don't hold-back, tell me what you really think generally about "someone like me". Cool down buddy.
The question is why can other low-volume, fringe type vehicle tuners turn a profit selling their wares for half the price? Especially considering there are so very many companies competing, creating similar possible market shares?
And why is the pricing so similar between all sellers? How has that pricing been set and agreed-to? Is it based-upon what the market will absolutely bare at a maximum? Or is it based-upon something else? That's all I'm asking.
If I'm not supposed to ask a question, I wonder why not?
Please don't attack me personally or my choice to drive a fantastic Saab car because I've asked some questions that might go against the grain a little bit. I've met you, and honestly think you're a good guy and respect your amazing accomplishments, that's why I bought you lunch---but I'm not so sure that it's your place or responsibility to monitor my "attitude".
Is this issue not worthy of discussion? Isn't performance price/$ a valid subject to be considered and held to a standard? One similar to every other make and model vehicle and not a Saab-only artificail standard? If not, why not? With the exception of the ion analysis functions (left alone when tuned) the technology isn't drastically different, so what is different exactly?
I'm not concerned with how much I personally have to pay, and from discussions and emails we've had, you KNOW that with certainity. I can send you copies of our discussion if you've forgotten.
I'm not complaining at all, everything is a choice. If I chose to modify a Saab or not. Whether I choose to buy pieces from vendor X Y or Z. Whether I choose not to. Whether I choose to cut-out and do a partial stand-alone. I do not feel that I'm inherantly entitled to anything other than a choice. If a company is selling something and they choose to price it a certain way, it is my choice and decision to buy it or not. Freewill is great! But if gas prices in Houston were at $10/gallon for no apparent reason and in Greenville it was $2/gallon, wouldn't it be a valid question to ask why?
But please explain to me, out of an entire world full of injector possibilities, why universally choose a standard injector that is too small to start with, which causes a need to increase fuel pressure to 3.8 bar? There are many other possibilities. If a company wants to sell product in a market, wouldn't it make most sense and be more responsible to choose something for a standard that is sized correctly to start, and is available in that market--the main market--for less $? What could possibly be the motivation behind doing otherwise?
I do not lack the ability to empathize at all. I do however lack the abilty to not ask questions when something dosen't seem quite right to me. All may be well, I don't know, that's why I've asked. And that's all I'm doing, asking questions. If there are answers, fine. If there are not, that's fine too. Either way, what is the harm with asking? If an action is justifiable without discssion it should also be justifiable with discussion. Either something is justifiable or it isn't. Surely an open-minded person can see the truth in that.
Putting myself in your shoes, as a direct re-seller I know that you have somthing personal to protect here, specifically your suppliers best interests. But since you responded, in your opinion, how exactly can other fringe market tuners stay in business, selling a similar product in similar numbers at around half the price? They must be making money somehow...
Besides, if I do choose to shareware it, wouldn't that be ME who has absorbed all the losses? I guess I don't understand your comment about how I "seem only concerned about what you personaly have to pay for your car to get tuned".
