It almost seems like some sort of political thing now at this point. Someone should offer there car to be a Guinea pig so we can get this rolling. So who's the test dummy?

I posted my opinion on the first page. Still surprised there are so many people willing to put stock in such a crap company that is just going to end up screwing you in the future.

How do you know how much their budget is?
I'm guessing their numbers aren't adding up or they would have a tune out by now but I wish they could come out and just say that if it's the case. Yes,on here it looks like a lot of possible buyers for a tune but how many are actual buyers?
If they aren't going to supply a tune then just move on and hope somebody else does but just because a company doesn't provide something you want doesn't make them bad or at least I haven't heard that from people that have gotten a tune from them. Are they are a crappy business to deal with outside them not supplying a tune for the MKIII?

I'm not saying they are a bad company because they don't have a tune for the MK3. I'm saying they are a bad company by their track record. Exactly as I stated on page 1.

Someone needs to contact Sniper and see if they will support it. At least they didn't screw every customer and dealer that purchased their software by making it obsolete, releasing an upgraded version, and forcing them to pay again.

Even if they supplied a tune, how many people would actually buy it? What if they already tried and the gains were so little they're not bothering putting it out to the public?

Gains on a stock engine aren't what I'm concerned with. I'd like to see an aftermarket for our cars.

I may end up sucking it up and getting an st... Or maybe an ecoboost f150 depending on what I'm doing when I do it.
