RE: GRP to sell direct to customers!!!
I dont think it will be $165 for the tuned GRP. Read the fine print. ie. analyze what they say.
average retail price reduction by over 40%
That means that some things will not be 40%, and some will be more. Next is RETAIL. Retail prices are expensive for what you can get cars for now. So, for a $300 GRP engine, I would expect it to be around $225-$200 but I dont even think that much. Such a drastic change in price means somenone is getting ALOT of money as their engines arent expensive to build.

Yeah but still we will be the ones getting better prices! I dont really think they were getting so much money, I'm sure they made a nice profit but wheres the problem with that? Thats what business is for! They're going to be changing they're distribution chain... which to tell you the truth sucks big time for the stores who carry their products.... although it is still very attractive to us the final consumer! Getting better prices and having a relationship directly with the company... if done right this could be great..!!

One of the biggest hobby distributors out there (not Great Plains) cuts the bottom end out from under there dealers quite often [>:]
