Does the GB allow for more than 10 people? Are we fighting for spots now?!?!?

Just remember carbon fiber is stronger but will not hold up over time to the elements meaning scratches vs steel. This will result in failure over time. If you want seat of pants performance go with a lighter flywheel rather than a carbon fiber drive shaft.

I would assume so. No need to fight.

How heavy is the flywheel in your C63?

Mr747 will be posting some information that Frank sent me from DSS, for some reason my email won't let me copy and paste it on here. Also whom ever is in send me a pm for the list and I'll get it to Frank. I'm jumping in the help Kjkidd as he is out of town at the moment.
Thanks every one
Eric.

Just to confirm, if one decides to do Weistec stage 3 and other mods to bump it around 1000 hp, roughly speaking, this shaft will handle it comfortably? If so, I'll be +1 after the confirmation.

When Kjkidd is back in town he and I will pool everyone's PM's and get all of your screen names and first manes to DSS so they can start building the drive shafts. From there you guys will need to PayPal DSS directly and send them a email with your proper information. All of you will get a PM from me or Kjkidd telling you the contact info DSS will need.
Thaks all
Eric

this should be sometime next week..

Alright gentlemen, I'd say this group buy is a "GO" at this point.

I am going to reach out to Frank on Friday of this week with a FINAL list of who is participating in this group buy. Below there are two lists - one is people who are CONFIRMED for the GB and one of people who are TENTATIVE. I need to hear from the guys who are tentative by Thursday night, letting me know if you are IN or OUT (if I do not hear from you, I will assume you are out). Once I have communicated with Frank, I will follow up here with directions on how to send payment to DSS for the CF Driveshafts.

Confirmed:
1. Kjkidd21
2. Asher4799
3. RuckinAMG
4. MR747
5. Alpha26
6. MBNRG
7. Cli63
8. the_indian_kid
9. Schulminator
10. BLKROKT
11. Revotech Motorsports (x2)
12. Thrilla
13. ritalin
14. gzim335
15. BHimself

Tentative:
1. Kriston
3. Vladds
4. Kevinlovepoyan
