So, if customer orders are being filled, where the F are the results we were promised?

Not when we've been promised results from AAM for a long time, and the only results we'll ever see come from customers. It's just shady. I hope it makes power. We need a good intake manifold option. But this whole product rollout has been a complete goatfuck.

Any of you running a business which deals with R&D and manufacturing? Is not that easy as you think

Even Apple, the biggest and richest company in the world fails on supply, launch date, has hardware problems etc

Paaaaaaatience

No, the right way to do this would have been to not give hard dates and take money that early in the process. It'll probably be a good part, but this is a major marketing fail. They said this was almost ready in January. Now they're sending out units before any test results have been released. You don't need to defend them. They're big boys. They've fumbled the ball every time they touched it.

It is extremely easy NOT to take money from customers without a developed product. The money for R&D should come from an investing partner or owner.

Terrible analogy. Apple doesn't foot their R&D costs with customer purchases of products that aren't yet on the market.

You're reading a different story, my friend. Try reading it again.

Any better this time? Don't rush!

My reading comprehension is just fine, thank you

I particularly enjoyed your irrelevant, hyperbolic comparison of AAM and Apple.

Hey guys, I'm prototyping a driveshaft with propellers on the outside that promises to decrease your 0-60 and 1/4 mile times significantly...Anyone who wants to jump at this promotion needs to send me your money now as supplies are very limited.

Once prototyped, I will post results, but until then, send me your money ASAP. Test results will be forthcoming once I receive the funds and product from our manufacturing facility.

EDIT: This feature is NOT AVAILABLE for lowered vehicles as the propellers will most likely contact the ground, speed bumps, and most other obstructions...

I know that I am being facetious, but it sounds like what AAM is promising...AAM does make quality products (my friend at work has a TT 350Z and it is a real beast). Let's hope that those who have pre-ordered get what they paid for and all are happy with their product and results...

I just wanted to inject some levity in this thread and am not bashing AAM (I want their TT for mine at some time).

As much as the delays have turned me off I'm still very interested in the results. I'm thankful there have been others before me fortunate and ballsy enough to fund them up front for the rest of us to wait by and see how it turns out. Hats off to you guys.
