What exactly constitutes substantial interest? How many units would you guys have to have earmarked before you start looking at it? KW has built a name for itself with the fit community for a great reliable product. To see that the massive outpouring of interest from the newer generation owners has been all but ignored is very discouraging. The whole process has become a running joke in my eyes. New people are buying fits because of their performance potential and are having their hopes dashed by an aftermarket segment that is unwilling to commit to anything. Oscar Sr. made great strides on the older compacts and set the bar high. I am very much aware of the financial risks associated with undertaking a project of this magnitude, and I understand that the unstable economy leads to overly prudent business decisions. However, I feel its time for us, the people who have been pandering for this kit for months, to be made aware of exactly what, if anything, it is going to take for Kraftwerks to engineer a GE8 specific kit. Time is money gentlemen. The longer we as consumers are forced to wait with no definite answer, the more likely someone else will beat you to the punch. Trust me, I would much rather buy a Rotrex kit from KW than deal with a turbo from anyone. But that scenario is looking more and more likely. Oscar Jr., Please tell us how many people we have to show have real interest in this kit before you commit to moving forward.
