Personally i think they kind of pre-text the article assuming that it is going to hit these numbers or greater because on the second page where it said hp-1000(est)

Remember, Product development is a part of this build...

read these 2 again and you will see by what he means when he says he answered your question. Some of you guys need to understand how a sponsorship works. there are contracts and in those contracts they kind of tell you what you can and can't do with your car. Look at it as they bought a piece of it for a duration of time. If you break that contract you get screwed in oweing them moniez.

LULZ I know the answer already so I wanted to hear someone say it.

BTW I am a lawyer. What are these "contracts" you speak of lol... I am intrigued....

toner123 · 11-29-2010, 08:38 PM

But hell she is looking sexy I been showing all my buddies at work it, kinda like hey you think my TT set up is nice? Check this **** out lol

Mike might knows this better then me, since it has been a long time since I looked into this. A few example's being is when my Monte Carlo was going to be sponsored by JL i got huge discounts for products, but I had to attend at least 15 car events a year containing more then a potential of 100 visitors. so which means all major events people travel all across the country for. Another was I had to give referrals and there was a certain amount i had to do every year. Which I wouldn't have mind because JL makes some nice ****. There was alot of other stipulations. OOO the big one is you can't revel to anyone how much you pay for a product with your discount or buy things for other people. Like I said these are the few I remember. BUT and I say BUT any violation of these resulted in penalties between being dropped and having to pay all the money they discounted you plus a 10% finance charge. The way i understood it the min you broke the agreement the amount you were discounted becomes like a finance charge. Like I said i can be wrong on some of these things but this is the jest of it.

That's why I just pay for all my mods and not seek discounts/free stuff when it comes to my car. Too many rules and regulations... To each his own.

No ones run my car but me!

there's no free lunch. a sponsorship involves work (as well as doing and NOT doing certain things) the question is whether or not you enjoy that work more than just paying full price. if you're gonna go to 15 car events anyway, it wouldn't bother you too much.

i know some kid from my highschool that has a camaro sponsored by some company that got him a ton of parts (wheels, engine components body kit stereo) installed them, tuned the car all that jazz. cost him very little. However, he gets to use the car for about a week out of every month and has to let them take it pretty much whenever. Thats an example of a bad sponsorship.

Yea but remember man not everyone is a lawyer. They don't have run of your car for life, if you know what I mean. Honestly if i wasn't in the military I would get my Z sponsored. [I]t is the only way i could afford to make it the way I want it to be. If I have to eat **** for a year or 2, to have the car I always wanted then so be it.
Frank

Ps remeber though there are good ones out there and mike is with alot of good companies, so the stipulations for him might be really good just for the companys bragging right to say they sponsor a new z with 1000 ponies.
