Message	I expect to see 300degree fuel rail knockoffs any day now. While I can understand Russel's need to fill customer demand, I question whether or not this is just being used as an excuse to knock off other people's products or threatening to use "alternative sources" as leverage for better pricing. I find it a bit ironic that Russel compares Z1 to Walmart. Most people I know hate Walmart.
