A projected release date would be great. I’d be willing to wait a few months but any longer and I’ll probobly go with a roto-fab. Some transparency would be appreciated.

It's not often that we as consumers have any insight into the development of an aftermarket bolt on. It takes extra effort and a degree of risk from the vendor to do so, especially in the R&D stage. There are bound to be successes and failures as well as setbacks during real word testing. Not to mention that a quality product takes time to evolve. I for one, appreciate the updates.

I would like to encourage the members of this forum who are following this thread to remain constructive in their posts. Take the hate somewhere else or perhaps show enough maturity to move on.

Thanks in advance.

Good post.

I am just as interested in this part as others on here. In the same, I am just as annoyed about the lack of transparency and broken promises of updates.

The things is, because of what waterman wrote, and also figuring in the business case behind this part, I cannot help but just wait. What I mean is, the business case to develop, manufacture and sell is not as good compared to other cars (like our Mustang friends is). The 6th Gen Camaro didn't get the sales volumes for it. This is one reason why a lot of other aftermarket companies haven't come out with anything or took a while to do so. The other reason, in my educated belief, is that the competency of the 6th Gen is to the point where some products don't make sense to put out there anyway.

Koni and Bilstein don't even have replacement shocks out yet... Options are pretty much coil-overs, custom or stock.

Well said

It appears some haven't read rule #1 of this forum.

Looks amazing. And I am happy it will no don't be a quality product. I just don't understand the avoidance with respect to a release date.

No never I need this the best ho mid ever. More hp than a super charger. 10x gain over a roto fab. You'll see.

Our goal was to beat what we had created by a strong margin wile setting up for both LT-1 and ZL-1 vehicles.
We more than reached that goal.

More updates coming this week.

I wonder how long it would take if they WERE dragging their feet.
