TWENTY-FIVE?!?!?! HIGHLY doubtful, an investment like that is insane. Maybe they are banking on 25 customers...

Damn, they STILL can't spell Infiniti correctly! Am I just too nit-picky?

I haven't followed the Dreamworks threads much in the last several months because I got tired of all the BS and bought a Greddy Kit, but weren't they asking for their customers to prepay a specific deposit amount? Were they using this money for start-up capital? If so, doesn't that have anyone worried about the financial stability of the company?

Didn't it take like 6 months to just see a "real picture" of the kit? The above statement says "Dream Workes Racing is building 25 350Z super cars." 25 Z's would cost you anywhere between $675,000 to $875,000. Can you really believe there would be a "meaningful" warranty on a Z engine that produces 550 hp? Come on - 550 hp? - that representation alone is very scary especially if their kit keeps the stock internals.

Also, does anyone know when the above information was released? I find it interesting that the statement says that Dreamworkes IS building 25 supercars. This indicates that they have already purchased the 25 cars AND have begun work on the cars, installation, upgrading etc. If this is true, lets see some work in progress pics. I'll check back in another 6 months - maybe the pics will be posted by then

They wanted $3K for the deposit.

So, I ask again:

They have to be able to spend 250K - 500K to develop the system and build up inventory.

They don't have their own car.

And they are building 25 Supercars.

They have a blower being tested at a carb facility in CA but don't have an actual photo of a real system.

And Dell Financial has never heard of them...they were very adamant about that...And they WILL NOT WARRANTY ANY SYSTEM OVER 6lbs. of boost.

What kind of friggin' sense does any of that make?

I wonder how much they're selling the left half of the Golden Gate Bridge for?

Offering a 10% discount for those who prepay is a little different from what he is implying. Also, it was fully refundable, correct?

I agree with BLOBYU. This whole scenerio belongs on dateline or some **** like that. From what I have read on this board, I have the following impession:

(1) Little old lady wants a new roof very badly;
(2) Little old lady is sitting in her living room when she hears a knock at her door;
(3) What luck, its a traveling carpenter who offers to provide this terrrific new roof, but needs X number of dollars now to buy the materials before installation;
(4) Little old lady gives carpenter X number of dollars and carpenter promises to return in 3 days to do the work;
(5) Little old lady is happy for 3 days;
(6) Carpenter never returns and Little old lady is without her new roof and without X number of dollars.

The above impression is soley based on the material learned through this forum and the internet, but does have something to do with just always being a sceptic in situations like this. For those that believe in this SC system - more power to ya. For those that don't - I can certainly understand why.
