Suntzu, I haven't driven the extreme pack (would like to!) but I would be surprised if you would be dissapointed with the extreme package on a bang for buck basis. You have seen the 1/4 mile, mph and power figures. Will it blow away an Evo or STI? Unlikely. Will it be close in straight line performance to cars like the Golf GTI, S2000, RX8 - probably yes especially when rolling if 100mph at the end of the 1/4 is anything to go by. So unless your expectations are way high I think you will be happy.
The biggest concern I had years ago during development of Jtune was the "fixed" nature of the reflash - eg if you want to return the car to stock. Now they have sorted out return to stock for a small fee it is good news.
Another concern I would have with the extreme pack is the the growing attention modified cars are getting by Police and the EPA. If the car is defected (say due to current or more stringent standards introduced) - what on earth do you do to fix it? It is a complete package. You can't fit another exhaust because the flash is designed for that exhaust. You can't fit another intake because the flash is designed for that intake. This is not Jtune's problem, but it is a growing problem for all modified vehicle owners and the fixed nature of the tune doesn't help.
So overall I think Suntzu you should go for it! I have spoken to Peekay personally and if he is happy with the results I dont' see why you wouldn't be either.
"With regards to product availability it is still our aim to have products ship between 6 to 10 weeks after the closure of the pre order currently running"
so Its 6 to 10 weeks from the 12th of October!
Daaamn
I'd love it im sure. But I cant make a business case for it. Just cause I have the money doesnt mean Im going to do it. Its cheaper for me to sell up and actually lease a new GTI than to spend $4500 achieving similar results from a 2 year old car. I can justify about $2000 but there no package at that price point.Quote:

It is exactly the time they need to pay the manufacturers overseas and have the first batch of shipment load of stuff manufactured, then shipped over to here. I wonder who is paying for that first shipment. Hmmmmm.
And then, there could still be further delays on the final arrival of the product too. :o
it never will be.Quote:

i am just shocked this thing might one day get released! OMGLOLZ!
IMHO it seems that while the product is technically at least very good or maybe even excellent (hard to be sure) it's pretty certain Jtune is undercapitalised. Pity.
I too want one but no way am I pre-ordering.
