You know the best part of all this, SM ? "Wicked" will never sell another piece of their wares on the forum or Rennlist to any Porsche enthusiast for the story on them is out now, and the internet is forever. They showed their true colors in this thread - only a fool would buy from them after seeing the little performance they just put up. Know what will happen now? They will form a new company with a new name and come back with the same crappy product, but not as Wicked (at least not for Porsche parts). So....let's keep our eyes open for any new ducks that come quacking onto the 6-Speed On-Line lake.

All time low for Wicked, I honestly can't say I've heard a single good thing about this company until snash911turbo post, then find out that snash911turbo is someone at Wicked. lol. Can't get better than this.

Wicked just cut their own throats, but agree with drcollie that they will probably just change their names, but not their tactics or make better products. I think pretty obvious to all -- pretty bush league and shameful tactics.

It would appear that while this tread has been raging that Wicked Motor Works has become a vendor of this forum...there is no reason why a satisfied customer can't post in a thread critical of the company although the timing is a little suspicious and the user does share a common IP address with Wicked Motor Works and shall be banned for it...we don't like vendor shills or vendors that create additional identities to shill for themselves....caveat emptor guys until I can get them removed from this forum

This is getting a little nutty. Here we have a dishonest company with dirty tricks and the mods ban the dirty tricks but not the dishonest company?

I can't throw a sponsor off without IB backing me up...so hold your horses...I have asked then to remove wicked as a vendor...Wicked has a premium level sponsorship so it will be interesting to see if they will respect my wishes or go for the bucks

Very impressed by 6speed's ethics. They say they aren't principles until you lose money over them, so hats off to you guys. You did the right thing.

Nice! That's the way to do it. Strong work matching up the IP addresses too, Chuck. Well done.

Totally agree. They put their money where their mouth is. I'm very impressed too.

I'm extremely impressed also. We don't forget things like this, IB. Good job sticking up for your members and doing the right thing. Never really know until it happens.

If he was smart, he would have posted on his iPad at Starbucks :-)
Hey, I'm in California. Maybe, I'll go visit Beau for you guys.
He'll probably come back with another company name since Wicked has a bad rap now. Don't trust a company that doesn't list an address on their website. http://www.wickedmotorworks.com/
