After seeing the abuse the 5.0s are seeming to handle at the track I wouldn't hesitate to lend one out for a few dyno runs.

Take it away from a hypothetical scenario and you might well rethink that.
I wouldn't lend my car to my best friend to take round the block and even the idea of lending 'my' brand new next-gen Stang to a tuning company to experiment on literally takes my breath away frankly.

I couldn't see doing it either to be honest. I understand that there's people who would and asking never hurts but for a free tune....Doesn't seem worth it by a long shot. If you were selling superchargers and offered the same with a free S/C it would be worth considering the risk/reward but, a tune... Nah.

Uh he is offering over $700 bucks worth of stuff........not a $50 tune.

Anyways LOL if I were close i would do the deal if they let me stay in town and watch and tour the facilities...maybe free upgraded tunes with future parts

Edit: Hell if I had my car I would take a few days off and drive down to do it!

Being in the industry for over 12 years, all I can say is "WOW" to the responses...

If my 2011 was here yet, I'd let PK (my rep) know my car was available, just would have to make arrangements from PA to FL and back.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. When you have your car custom tuned it goes through the same process, and diablosport doesn't exactly put radical tunes on their tuner to begin with. I bet they find someone who was going to buy one anyway.

I'd hand over my 2007 gt for a few days, if I was there watching and overseeing what was being done. I don't think you guys should get mad about them atleast trying to reach out for some help. Buying a whole car for a shop tester is alot of money, especially when there are people out there who want to purchase their products but can't afford them. If they offered to cover the damages, I don't see how you can get mad at them for trying to save some money.
