Don't worry, I'll be protected against any other flames that might break out!

You reap what you sow my friend. Funny thing about BS. One man's BS is another's fertilizer. Who made you the truth police anyway?

Do you need to have a badge to call BS? Come on, now. You can't honestly tell us that if you see something that does not smell kosher, you just let it go.

This is exactly why M7 should not bother posting additional replies, IMO. They give you an answer and then you essentially accuse them of lying or at least hiding the truth.

So now I'll ask you. What axe are you grinding?

the axe that i have to grind is one that is labled M stands for misleading or marketing.

As a summary for the last 10 pages or so you can read what i am talking about.

1 M7 over promsing and under delivering time after time after time.
2 Always hyping there product about how it is going to outflow everything else, (think ags, throttle bodies, DFIC etc...) and no results
3 Always announcing how much better his product is without any results. Hell, there fully built cars struggle to break 200whp with cylinder heads.
4 DFIC and that whole debocle... not that what i say is set in stone... but the fact that alta posted about a year before M7 did with the intercooler spoke volumes to me. Either way, personally and again i said PERSONALLY i don't think that the DFIC is all that it is cracked up to be. but i probably shouldn't of said that otherwise we will get this to 60 pages long...

who made me the truth police? Are you kidding me?

You are giving me **** because i seek the truth...

And as far as i reap what i sow... i speak the truth. I don't have anything to hide! Thats the beauty... when you practice what you preach and speak the truth you don't have to worry about things like this...

its a great feeling and i highly recomend it.

I'm simply asking who made you the judge of what is "The Truth". There is always two sides to every story. You seem unwilling to believe that anything other than your version can be true.

No, like I've stated, it appears you have an axe to grind with M7.

I guess you'll just have to wait for everything to unfold and then decide if its an axe to grind or was just getting the truth out for the community.

Untill then go back to your tree:
You missed your calling as a comedian. So now you've decided to skip discourse and just go straight to insults. Very mature buddy.

BTW, I don't have any particular relationship with M7 other than having spoken to Randy on the phone once. How's that for disclosure of truth for ya? How about you telling us what's made you so negative towards them?

It would seem that some individuals are intent on getting this thread locked. Too bad. I hope their motives are not selfish.

i have no intent of getting this thread locked. some of you don't even notice that i have given m7 respect and i complimented them for always trying to go out and try something differnt! I applaud them for that.

I hope this thread doesn't get locked but it will if the temperature doesn't dial back down in here.

Just a few reminders based on some of the problems that have come up in this thread so far.

From the Site Guidelines
  • RESPECT
    When posting, both members and vendors must ALWAYS be respectful of fellow members and vendors. Personal attacks and flames will not be tolerated. If you feel you are being attacked, report the post or private message rather than replying or flaming back.
  • CLEAN
    Do not post explicit, obscene or vulgar language and do not solicit or offer explicit, X-rated, or similar content. Use of the private messaging system in this way is also prohibited.
  • DISCUSS
    If you are a vendor selling a product, and you make a quantitative claim about its function or performance, you should expect to be questioned for data to back up that claim. Since this is a discussion forum, posts in areas other than Vendor announcements will result in questions, scrutiny and discussions.
  • ACCOUNTS
    Each member may have only one North American Motoring user account.
