Has anyone considered the ramifications if Eagle1's car does win the USCC title this year? Even without the promised AWD conversion, if he wins... I shudder at the insanity that will ensue. With all the VRT stickers on his car, and his list of modifications touting VRT parts galore, like VRT coil-overs and VRT brakes- there will be a whole new crop of ignorant sheep for Mike to slaughter. And the worst part about it all...

threads like this will never, ever, ever die.

That's one of the reasons threads like this should live.....and not be closed. Hell I'd probably pin one of them to stay on the front page. I'm sure we all get sick and tired of reading another VRT story, just think of those out there that haven't heard......

I shudder at the thought of all the poor fools who don't search for feedback before spending their money with a vendor or installer. However, every day there is some such fool who cannot fathom the usefulness, or simple function, of the search feature before posting a thread like, "what's the best turbo kit for my ride?". How much worse to see constant threads such as, "My ride's at VRT getting a turbo kit, am I screwed?" becasue no one searches. It's not for lack of information about VRT on this forum that people will still go to them for business, even if threads such as this are a sticky. It would be nice to actually have some resolution to VRT's shady dealings that goes beyond negative internet publicity, strictly for the sake of all the future customers that will not search first. (if not our own sanity at all the aforementioned threads that will pop up as a result of such people)

Agreed. I agree with Buzzard's last post too in addition to Resolute's. As a community, we should to do everything we can to try to prevent further VRT victims and try to put VRT (or an other of Miguel Alvarez's business ventures) out of business permanently.

Eagle1s car and whiteknights are fully equipped race cars.Ed has the germans engine in his car unknowingly.I tried telling a list of ppl but everyone thought i was full of ****.The sad thing is that eagles car could be repossesed at any time for that engine.Also that engine is sleeved w/race cams and a list of other goodys.Its just sad that money can make ppl do such f@cked things.I know that ed paid good money for any and everything he had done at vrt and so did the germans its just sad that two ppl paid for the same motor and one recieved and the other didn't.The roadster paid for a sleeved motor and i was there when his car was but never recieved as far as i seen.jwttz paid abunch of money for stuff he never recieved.G-X got some bull **** suspension that broke on him.Pal fx i dont even want to get into.Gammawolfs friends car another victim.and on and on and on
Anyways its just sad so excuse me if i get a little hot head when these cars are mentioned cause you ppl have know idea how much money i spent out of my own pocket just to get them to run and the countless hours i spent at that hell hole.

Well MrA no longer owns the company. So at least it is not a new crop of sheep for him to slaughter.

Well, I'm still skeptical. He may not own the company on paper, but I'm concerned that he may still be pulling the strings from behind the scene.

And NO (I realize you are probably kidding here, but I have to say it anyway)... he's not Robin Hood, just a thief. There is nothing noble about what he has done.
