Yet another case of Gustav censorship to protect personal interests.

Gustav censors once again to protect his own personal interests. If a track record would be considered to judge ones character, this guy has certainly gained one for his senseless censorships which in doing so to protect his board sponsors, does it at the cost of possibly misleading members/readers of present and future. A simple google containing the following words: "gustav censorship m5 board" will lead you to all threads of this subject dating as far back as 2005. Here is his latest Suppression of a thread where a board sponsor is clearly dodging the primary concerns of a customer-board member regarding a 70 horse power loss after using thier exhaust. Read-up and judge for yourself in regards to the situation:

This Gustav guy definitely definitely seems shady, i don't understand why he locked the thread in the first place.
This could have been easily solved if Agency Power just explained why there was a such a huge loss in power instead of constantly explaining that the valvetronic muffler is just for sound.
Well...if its just for sound then There shouldn't be a loss in power to begin with, especially a 70hp loss.

He has a horrible rep throughout the community and known for rigging races. No surprise.

Gustav runs a tight ship. That’s his prerogative.

Anyone here with an Agency Power exhaust on his AMG? :crazy:

Most forums do the same. Regardless of general moral beliefs, the bottom line is what matters to most.

Bottom line, he cheated and Kirchener mods on his M5 and claimed it was stock smearing the e55 worldwide. Expect nothing less when the f10 takes on the 212 TT.
