I also said the car was late. I did not say it was all the engine. I did not push Barry knowing the chassis was late.
The under promise and over deliver was directed at Superformance also.
Just in jest at this point Bill, I'll leave this right here..... I guess "nuts" is a relative term.

"I was disappointed that it came in below the target set but doubling back to correct it would take time I do not want to spend as the summer slips away."

"Yea, I know it is plenty but the goal was 600 and that is not close."

"I agree, trust me he is aware I am disappointed."

"A process that should have been fun was a bit frustrating. This industry never heard the expression, under promise and over deliver."

"I asked for something and paid the bill, no complaint on price, no negotiating. Why come up short? "
