Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
On the same not, Ben, they are also building thier stuff for 600WHP cars. No FWD road racing car is going to be running 600WHP. A competitive FWD road racing car is gonna be closer to 300WHP. 600WHP in a road racecar would be rediculous and extremely hard to control. GT500 cars don't even run that much power, and they're purpose built, not to mention they certainly are not FWD.
600WHP is something that would really only be appealing to a drag racer trying to get the fastest possible 1/4 mile time. Seeing Mazworx work on their S15, it appears that drag racing is what they are focused on. If they wanted to build to appeal to the road racing community, then they'd likely have to build some different stuff that would be better suited to the different engine characteristics of a road racing car.
But as others have said, we are generaly a cheaper community or car enthusiasts and not a lot of us can afford the expensive parts that most pro shops produce. Not to mention that most of us want to have a fast car that still has A/C and power steering.
Bottom line is Mazworx is working on making HIGH horsepower parts for HIGH horsepower cars. These parts are going to maily focused toward the drag racing community where function > form. A 600 WHP drag car is not going to have creature comforts. It likely won't even have an interior. Let's just let them finish what they're doing, give constructive critisism as needed and see what they come up with. Let's also remember that the first product is almost never the final product.
