Reminds me of the old metaphor about the kid tying a carrot on a string to a long stick and holding it in front of the donkey so the donkey would keep going. Except this is a carrot made out of aluminum because a real carrot would have rotted by now.

didnt it start at like $399?? Even at $749, or whatever they're asking for it now, if it's what they make it out to be, its not a bad deal...I can't see any torque out of those super short runners, though.

I call all the time just for fun. I posted a thread a couple months back, where a guy finally said "these will never be available, because there is not enough demand to make them".

I wish they would, I would like to try it.

do you call Jegs or BBK? It seems like they're going through an awful lot of trouble baiting us for a product that will never see the light of day....
