Dont need dealership help and waist of money. Beyond their comprehension of understanding. From what I hear from everyone they have a hard enough time working on stock cars, how are they going to understand a race car with stand alone computer, stonger quality engine parts along with complicated turbo system, etc. I use them for only oem parts ordering and I am very careful at that. I do all my work with own expensive tools. Engine building done by real engine builders who work on race engines. Tuning done on dyno chasis, etc. Most guys on this forum do all their work because they know what they are doing and have way more tools then any dealership would have. This is not nickle and dime business building a fast car it is expensive and want only compitent individuals near are cars. You cannot make a car go fast with oem parts or a mechanic who thinks inside the box. Have to think outside the box, innovation does not happen at the dealership. They sell cars and warranties to keep you coming back. We make are cars stronger, faster, smarter, better handling, better braking, better looking. Use expensive aftermarket parts to replace oem parts to achieve true performance. We are after performance! :3gears:

first off, dealerships are not speed shops, nor do they pretend to be. you won't find any dyno chasis, (or do you mean a chassis dynometer), or anyone building race engines at any of them. what you will find are techs that have $10,000 invested in tools specifically designed to fix absolutely anything that breaks on any model that the manufacturer ever produced.
you're right, you can't make a car go fast using oem parts. what you can do is build a car that will last 10+ years, and perform the way it was designed to without having to mess around with it all the time.
how is it possible to think outside of the box when someone wants something fixed? the car cranks but doesn't start. hmm, i know i'll put on a 50 trim with a 100 shot to spool it up fast, that way when it does start i'll be at 10k rpm instantly, and should be able to run a 10 flat a couple of times before the tranny explodes.
dealerships usually sell cars. they also tend to service the same make of car at that same location. some people might call it a business.
what i find really amusing is when "performance" cars come in with thousands of dollars in credit card debt pounded into them, and they can't figure out why their car runs like crap or better yet, something basic such as a light that doesn't work.
