Daiblo had a good idea but they kinda dropped the ball on producing the product. I never trust a company that doesn't trust their dealers. They don't allow them to finalize a custom tune without HQ approval.

Wait a week or so. The Microtuner for the 2003s will be out then.

ellie- Granatelli. They are one of Diablo's distributors. Don't believe anything they say about product release dates. They have advertised a 5.4 Predator for months when it doesn't exist yet. Some of their dealers have even lied and said they have it but I guarantee they can't ship one unless they have traveled into the future. There are at least 2 Predator models scheduled to be released before the 5.4 model so its going to be months.

No, we do not price match on them. I'd rather not sell it than sell it and lose money. I'll be happy to answer questions.... but don't expect me to support any questions if you buy it elsewhere, fair?
