Speaking of Red SS/sc's I found your "clone" driving around in Peoria. The guy works at Butler Insurance or Systems or something across from northwoods mall.

so since I can't sponsership due to distance, what is the process to be considered as a test 2.4 vehicle for various products that your company wishes to bring to the marketplace? I did read your intitial first post but it confused me a little. sorry!!!

not limited to anything special

Sponsored vehicles get free tunes, free dyno runs, free labor, wholesale cost of parts, free tnt original parts (in exception to f/i which is wholesale)

in short, goto our website, pay the $15 fee to handle the paperwork and such, if your not selected, your $15 is refunded in full.

I'll be sending out an email to everyone whos applied for sponsorship soon.


our parts are performance wise, (intakes, headers, exhaust, f/i, etc)

I have just paid my fee. I was just curious as to who decided who will be what. Do you make a selection of who you want and then ask them what they would prefer to do? Or do you just pick the people and tell that what you would like them to be and see if they except or reject the offer?

Yes, Prototype testers are only required to pay the initial $15 sign-up fee, then on parts your required to pay for shipping from us..to you.

There are no other fee's unless stated on the product itself.

Thanks for your support and kind words!




Prototype testing is available all over North America. We ship the products to you.

Give it some consideration.

It says we have to be willing to drive to the shop. and thats too far. Other then that. i'd be interested.

TNT, what are the stipulations on dyno time? as many of us are modding our cars somewhat independently of sponsor-only modifications, if a sponsoree is modding his car, and has your parts on it, does he still get free dyno time even if the dyno testing is not directly related to one of your parts?

I'm sure Jim is a swell guy, but he's not going to front a turbocharger for me to test out and keep. He's already said that FI components will be "at cost", the other stuff will be free.

Being a sponsored vehicle through TNT will gain you quite a bit, it will gain you:

Free Labor, Free Dyno Time, At Cost Tuning (Pay for credits), free entry to the drag strips when we go, magazine time (project permitting), all parts we offer @ wholesale cost.

As for other parts, its tricky. If we offer the part, and you buy it from someone else, we will offer discounted labor rates, if you buy the parts from us, its free.

Please do not call me "Jim" again

Its Tim.

whatever WE (TNT) pay for the parts, you pay.

whatever WE (TNT) pay for the parts, you pay.
