Cheers again Scott. I really hope we can each express more confidence and get through natural ups and downs of a public forum LOL. Admittedly that was my problem where you and I first butted heads. I was the underdog, in the teething process of taking on big projects and I forgot about confidence. I got sensitive. So after apologizing and moving on and achieving I've learned from it. Where a smile and keep pushing because it will show. No time for drama just the way I like it although once in a while…
NEVER would I or did I say "Buy this, then you can do what this guy did". I just give everyone the benefit of the doubt and congratulate them regardless of which team they are with or on. In fact and again call me out if I'm wrong...Every single person that goes through By Design talks with me personally. I don't sell things because of other people's actions. I actually give individual guarantees and suit my services to each and every single person's requirements from me. That will never change as long as I'm in charge.

Randy, I hope you understand that this claim he fabricated was not so insane that I would be crazy to beleive it. These are amazing cars. It was a stretch but it's possible. More crazy to me would be thinking a grown man would put so much effort into doing this. Sincerely!
I'm sure this won't actually hurt your business in the long term, and I hope it doesn't. I'm a track guy, so I'm not super invested in any of this anyway. Good luck to you.

Thanks Randy and you are right. I am confident it won't effect me in a negative way and I always try to find the positive to nurture out of anything. I am just sensitive and care to make sure all is as good as I can try to make it.
I am a road-course guy at heart! From my M3's to NSX to Vipers and now of course the best machines built The 1/4 and 1/2 mile stuff brings out the high school memories and is a whole new type of fun. Mainly it's a great measuring stick and change for fum competition. When people are honest that is!
Anyhow if you would ever like to tall track give me a buzz!

Couldn't agree with you more Scott. I speak very highly of Sam, who I have never met, but will some day. I don't offen talk so highly about people I don't know, but Sam has proven himself to me wth the quality of products that he sells and the 24-7 customer service he provides.

The "other forum" needs a healthy dose of skepticism. Maybe this event will bring that about.

I personally think the tuner was happy to see this guy posting insane results because they drove sales to unwitting people who thought they could get similar results. As you yourself noticed - the times defied the laws of physics. If you know that, then surely a tuner whose business is to know this sort of thing, would also know that. And the tuner posted the slip for the guy on one of the threads. Most of his posts afterwards were to downplay the event rather than to apologize for the misleading information that E-gear had been spreading. I don't think the tuner is to blame, but I do think he should have been leading the skeptics rather than relishing the results.
The results do not particularly deny the laws of physics. I posted the AP log he sent me and it's clear that it is 10.3 or less on the street. I find it interesting that everyone sucked up his success and congratulated him and yet when I did something before anyone else did, i.e. hit a 135 trap, I got crapped on. Why? Because I wasn't using the favored solution. You weren't there then, you are a newbie to this world so I think for you to make claims about the laws of physics when you probably don't even know what the main ones are is just hot air.
OBTW, I have spent at least $10k with Sam and no complaints with him or Cobb.

The only reason I didn't tune my M5 is because gains were of little value to me given the traction limitations of a rear wheel drive car.
I probably will tune my 911 but at this point the novelty of how fast it is has not worn off for me.

Not true. I find it disappointing that you post nice pictures of yourself and pretend to be a good guy, and then you post this lie about me.

You have offered good advice on a lot of topics. Please accept my apology. I am annoyed that everyone is dumping on Carlos. Maybe he deserves it but I don't think so and I have talked to him a lot.

Is the turner everyones babysitter or maybe he should give everyone a lie detector. E-gear didn't claim that he went to the moon in his car did he or maybe I missed that. Cars are running very low tens so does a 9.9 seem so crazy.

The tuner should be ashamed and apologize really? Do you even know him or purchased his products?

Guys we should step back and remember we are a community. We all agree on most things but we won't on all. This was definitely an offense I am pretty sure we all agree! And I hope after all this drama followed by 100% positive support for anyone with personal experience with me it's clear my position. Different people see versions or levels of justice differently. I always say If we were all sitting around a table we could have fun as enthusiasts.
