You keep making this claim, but it is false. There is no 1k commission on a crate 427R, not even close. What you fail to realize is the Roush business model is to sell through distributors that in some cases hold an inventory. In that type of business there has to be a margin for it to work. They have created a National and International brand. I see the Roush display at many high end car shows throughout the country ... never seen a Keith Craft display so I don't know?

There is a value there, some don't value it. That's fine, there's probably 2,000+ engine builders in the USA to choose from.

When a customer buys an installed engine, with all the other bits, that margin is gone anyway. We have to make deals to close sales.

All you need to do is line by line it and I'm happy to let it rest... but instead we can continue the "same parts, fake warranty, paying for the name chant".
