What ever happened to quality workmanship, where companies actually cared about producing a good, quality item? It seems these days most companies find crap completely acceptable to market.

I'm finishing the resto on a 1971 DeTomaso Pantera GT4. I order up some 351C heads and intake from a very reputable high performance source that claim to provide port matching. I spent $2500US, and the damn things are no where near being port matched! It's like they had Stevie Wonder doing the porting on these things, they're that bad.

Most corporations these days don't give a skinny rats ass about quality any more, and you know who's to blame? The consumer. That's right, it's our fault because we don't hold them accountable.

When was the last time as a consumer, that you complained about something that wasn't the way you wanted it? Trust me, on Tuesday I'm phoning these clowns and getting my money back on these "Performance Heads." How can they possibly have the gall to call this shite performance? I spent an a$$load of money on these so I could have 0-60's in the mid to low 5's, not give grandma in her mini van a run for her money.

Okay, I feel much better now. [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]
