Here ya go.

A couple of important notes:
  • The pulley is so advanced that it actually generates HP and TQ at 0 RPM. When the car is not being driven, this energy can be used to power your home, or even sold back to the power company. (Bling Bling AC adapter not included).
  • The Bling factor is totally off the chart. Well, technically it's still on the chart, but it's certainly off the graph.

Great, but where's the a/f ratio? Are you trying to hide something?

Pergo shmergo.
How about us racers?

With this new shift toward pleasing the bling bling crowd, we will be getting our azzes kicked at the race track!

If Alta wants to maintain its world renowned engineering supremacy, you really need to push the release of that rumored (super-duper lightweight race pulley).
AKA: project S.D.L.R.P. thats made from compressed feather technology & balsa wood.
Don't forget about your loyal racers & kick some bar stools in your R&D department for us.
Please send prototypes for track testing soon!
Thanks

Alta 2,
Here some R&D help!
Just in from the scientists we commissioned at a major unnamed university to reverse engineer the unnamed competitor pulley.

The following spy picture was taken of your unnamed competitors pulley, utilizing a multi-million dollar scanning electro-beam microscope @ 1 million magnification to reveal detail not visible by the human eye.


Ive taken the liberty of forwarding these pictures to the SCCA,NASA,IMSA,FBI CIA etc.etc. All of which are formulating there 2007 rule book to outlaw the use of these pulleys in competition.

Cheers!

Well, it just wouldn't be a complete outfit if we didn't have a belt to match!

Does that belt work with the pulley? Do the holes in it eliminate the need for a tensioner tool? Since that belt is likely to be worn by Alta fanatics, do you call it a fan belt? Is trying to come up with puns at 2:30AM a good idea? Should I have quit before I started? Is this too many questions?
