Lol, your a funny guy! The thing that you got wrong when you say that everyone is a sales person here is that from a racing stand point I'm probably the most straight forward person (company) on the market. All of the people that I sponsor here in the USA (including Kortz) run box stock engines. There are no special engines and there are no pop-riveted back plate engines so that you can not look inside. They are simply engines pulled off of the shelf (from the exact same supply that goes to the stores) and sent to them. So taking Kortz for instance when he ran the US nationals and led a good 20 minutes of his semi final, he was running the exact same engine that any one of my customers is using. When he finished I think it was 5th there he was still running the exact same engine that you buy in the shop. For the worlds warm up practice that we all did last week he was again running a regular B6 engine with the exception of a ceramic rear bearing (which anyone can buy for $40 or so). So when you say that the pro's are given engines you are completely correct, my pro's are given stock engines the same ones that you get if you but one lol. If I'm not confident that they are good enough to race with them frankly I'm not going to sell them.
