Sportec distributor in the US
Anyone know if there is a Sportec distributor here in the US?? Also, does Sportec have a website in English?? (I tried <a href="http://www.sportec.ch" target="_blank">www.sportec.ch</a> but no English option!!).

I tried dealing with Tanak (aka 3T Motorsports of Whitter, CA) and it was impossible for me to get solid answers. Everything I asked was responded to with: "well, we're not sure yet," or "it's not out yet".
Finally about a month ago I was able to squeeze some pricing out of them, and surprise surprise, this relative newcomer to the market has an ULTRA-premium price tag. I don't see them sustaining the pricing they have unless they get some better customer service and put on the marketing blitz of the century.
What pisses me off more is that when I first started speaking with the 3T rep who handles Sportec, I volunteered to be a guinea pig and try new stuff out if they would give me sharply reduced prices or something like that. He seemed to like that idea, and then all of a sudden he never returned my calls!
