OFFICIAL: ZMAX = Snake Oil!

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/02/zmax1.shtm

"The agency alleges that enhanced performance claims for the product are unsubstantiated, that tests cited to support performance claims actually demonstrated that motor oil treated with zMax produced more than twice as much bearing corrosion than motor oil alone, and that the three different products - an engine additive, a fuel line additive and a transmission additive - were all actually tinted mineral oil. "

Re: OFFICIAL: ZMAX = Snake Oil!

Last week Brandon and I were at the parts store getting some things for the Chump car and I pointed to a case of zMax and jokingly said said, "We should put some snake oil in it!" I guess I was right.

I had a dsm I thought about throwing together for this event, but I would need to get a cage in, am unsure about the reliability and justs don't have the time .

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
