Re: So , BARRY GRANT has gone under
Heard through the grapevine...it's a plot by corporate interests and big govt to ensure FI takes over the world; shouldn't be at all surpised if Coonce sums it up in his next column. :P
I've never owned a BG product but certainly heard lots and lots of stories -- good and bad -- about both the man and his products. Maybe the truth is somewhere in between? In any case, it's never in the best interests of hobbyists and enthusiasts when there's one less player in the mix; it doesn't help quality, price or after-sale service. And it must be a tough business, going head-to-head against Holley, Edelbrock, QFT, mail-order house carbs plus all the boutique outfits and re-builders.
Leaves me wondering how many aftermarket performance carbs get sold anymore in a year? And how sales have been trending over the last several years?
