I don't get it. Is everyone strapped for cash due to Christmas purchases or something? Or is this forum filled with a bunch of tuggers who just talk the talk but don't walk the walk? I mean, sh*t or get off the pot, people. And yes, I'm sure some of you have perfectly valid reasons for not pulling the trigger. I'm just surprised that it's taking so long to get the ten people needed for this GB is all. I mean, judging from some of the comments, it's as if many of you have been drooling and chomping at the bit for Tony to finish development on these and make them available for purchase. But now that he's done, all the demand for the product seems to have suddenly evaporated.

I'll tell you guys this much. If I were thinking of developing products for the 370Z, what has happened here would cause me to think twice in terms of trying to figure out how much genuine demand there is for new products. If we, as a community, give vendors a false and inflated sense of demand by clamoring for a product but then not buying when it's time to put our money where our mouths are, we will only succeed in shooting ourselves in our collective foot. Just sayin'
