I am afraid to give a review and awaken the whiners again...
As soon as I get it back I will of course post. Maybe after the weekend, the Active steering fault I was having turned out to be something significant and the parts were overnighted to the dealer today. With the ECU out to Dinan they can't do anything with the car, so it got queued to go after the AS fix. At least I have a loaner car, it's a 550. It feels like the front tires are low in air because the front end feels heavy and slow. (only kidding my V8 buddies)
While I am waiting I was looking at the Vishnu ProCeed website and the hp and torque claims seem the same and is $1300. I'm getting mine for $1750 so I guess what I'm additionally buying for $450 is the 4yr/50K warranty integrity.
I'm excited though.

It's not "awakening the whiners again" that's the risk, P, it's delivering the goods. A little like getting an object of your affection wined and dined and increasingly revved up then not being able to follow through. Most ladies don't like that so much.

Nice decorum (look it up). I'm not slinging anything nor calling anyone names nor swearing on the forum..... just pointing out that at some point after a the several threads and several pages what would be nice to see are results... we all look forward to it, when it happens, huh? Meanwhile, chill a little on the slinging yourself. Or not, doesn't really matter to me.
Good luck,
