ok, i'll bite...

are you really trying to convince folks that overpriced aero parts are now a bargain b/c the exchange rate moved 5% ? or do you truly believe there is enough tangible value in those parts to justify $3K ? e.g., resale value benefit + $ value of performance benefit - price for parts - parts for install >0 ??? b/c i'm fairly certain that math won't add up... which means you're paying for the artwork

re the cobb tuning device, i suppose that has potential to be worth the price, but where is the data ? and i don't recall you mentioning the price... are you fishing for price points trying to see 'what the market will bare'? i personally wouldn't pay a dollar w/o seeing how it compares to 4x more expensive devices as you suggest, how it compares to other budget computers, and how it compares to just having the local shop tune once and be done with it... do you have that info ?

thanks
