Message	Jim Wolf estimates that they have sold Stage III ugrades to approximately 10% of the Z-community. There have been approximately 85,000 Z's sold since 1990 (Motor Trend), at ~$1500 per stage III upgrade: 85,000*10%*~1500 = 13 MILLION dollars... keep in mind they make chips for lots of other cars, plus sell rebadged turbos, exhausts, etc... FYI: 1990 - 39,290 1991 - 17,652 1992 - 6,708 1993 - 11,599 1994 - 5,320 1995 - 3,135 1996 - 400 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ May those lost in the space shuttle tragedy find peace and harmony after their tragic death, 2/1/03.
