RE: Spark plugs for GT
I have used Derek several times and although I admit they are not the cheapest around (that part of the post was accurate) I use them when I need a part yesterday because they keep a wide variety of hard to get stuff in stock and Derek has ways of finding hard to find stuff quick in a pinch if he doesn't have it.
Personally, I don't use vendors becuase of price, I use them becuase of quality and service. I would much rather spend an extra 10 bucks and know the company will stand behind the transaction 100%.
Just my take on it.
For the record, as I said, I know Derek and Jared personally and both are stand up guys and run a good ship IMO.

RE: Spark plugs for GT
I respect all opinions if they are based on personal experience. I have no problem with you thinking D'Agostino sucks - I have a problem with you saying D'Agostino sucks without any personal experience to speak from.
It's not personal and I would be saying the same thing to anyone saying any vendor sucked without some personal examples. If you've had some friends' with some bad deals go down, I would tell anyone else the same thing - have your friend come on and tell his story.
I am the first one who wants to know if a vendor is screwing people...I just want it based on facts from the person involved is all...

relax buddy, and go ahead and ask jared what he thinks of d'agostino if u dont believe me. but ur right, he wouldnt come on here and say anything, that wouldnt be professional. also, i've met people who have had d'agostino build them sh*t that's blown up on the track, soooooo ya.
fanboy check zex either for HT0's, maybe u'll save a couple bucks. $57 for a set of 8, good for up to 700 or 800 hundred HP, i forget.

David?,
I hope you can back these false accustations in court.
I will not get into the Lethal Performance issue as we are currently going to court, but those who do know me know the true story. The name Lethal Performance originated from my own license plate, and for your information I am still a co-owner of that company. But anyhow that is between Jared, Jonas and myself. I do not need to write about it on a public forum.
As far as Sean Hyland Motorsports, my business partner, did in fact work there for 2 years, he was also the president of Pro-M Racing, and Head Calibrator at Diablosport for 3 years. If anybody needs his credentials feel free to call Diablosport and ask them.
Have we even ever dealt with you?
Last but certainly not least, name ONE car we have blown up. ONE, please do.
So please next time before you open your mouth atleast have your facts straight. Also where is all this hostility coming from.
Thank You,
Derek D'Agostino
For all those who know us and have dealt with us we appreciate the support. Again we have never dealt or heard of this member, so it is funny to us that this guy is accusing and making up stories, seems kind of fishy to me.

RE: Spark plugs for GT
Bro!You are going off on Derek when they Sponsor OUR club........What you are saying about them is not accurate at all.Hell,one of our newest members just dropped off a down payment with Derek & got a little over 1,000.00 knocked off the price for being a member of OUR club!Derek is a great guy and never has blown up a motor I know of!If your talking about James & his motor that blew.Derek did'nt build that motor!It was American something or another who built it & on top of that James knew it was going to blow because he turned the boost way up for PINKS hoping it would hold out but did'nt.Not very cool Bro to be bashing Derek just because you like Lethal.I told all of the Hellafied membersthat Derek was the Race shop sponsor of the club.But if members wanted to go elsewhere they could do whatever they wanted.I think you owe Derek an apology.If you can prove he blew a motor then I suggest you do it now.If you got confused about who built James motor then that's cool because we all make mistakes but you should apologize then.JMO........
