Xmods are really comming back

Although it does keep it alive on the forums, Radioshack is looking at the mass-markett profitability of them. The more broad of an audience base they can attract the better for them.

I think they can compromise, do some research and promote the independant forums. Heck they could even steal from us, there are so many ideas and what have you floating around here they would have to do so little R&D on the chassis etc. If they sent a pre-launch pack to the top 20 modders on the forum they would receive a pleothora of knowledge back that would help them articulate the modifications and additional add ons to produce.

My .02 on it.

Possible, but they also wouldn't want to over complicate things. If they were to do that, the Xmods line would probably now appeal to the sub-thousand of us between all the forums and possibly be too complicated to the millions of other kids in the United States. By keeping it simple, they can appeal to many more than just us on the forums but also mainly appeal to us on the forums because we want to have our little piece of it and do many things ourselves.

Adding to your $0.02 to make it $0.03.

IT'S TRUE!!!!!! He is right. I just got an email back too. saying the same thing here it is only the names are gone:

Thank you,

But another ****ing mustang? Ford must be giving away the rights to that car for free now days...

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

just sent an e-mail quetioning the possibility of trucks and a second line or w/e, they said they'll reply in 24 hrs, the count down begins! haha...23hrs 57min 35sec, 23hrs 57min 34sec, 23hrs 57min 33sec

[fieldfairy2]

but texan, you said no mustangs in your bet. lol. I think this is good news. Now we wait for more info...

[bondo]

none of you guys are thinking about the rights that Xmods already have.
do you think that they are going to buy additional rights to new EXOTS,MUSCLE,TUNERS andTRUCKS if they dont have to??
you guys are thinking in terms of what YOU would like to see.
look at the patterns of Xmods.
the same Mfcr's and makes have been immonent since the beginning.
why would they pay more to change it now?
because you all said so?

Xmods have always been about the buck.
they predetermined the makes and models and hoped that we buy them.
notice how they have pretty much stayed the same?
ford,chevy,nissan,toyota,honda,pontiac,......see the trend???
yeah there's a few more in there but for the most part, they stick with what is popular based on trends.
Gen1 had more muscle with no trucks.
muscle and tuner due to the F&F trend.
Evo's had ALOT more tuners as opposed to muscle with a few trucks due to the crowling trend.
regardless of the trend though, they have stayed true to their liscenses through the Mfcr's.
how many mustangs does it take for a 12 yr old to notice a connection?????

Those were the exact words in the email.

[ling427ttvette]

08 Corvette WOOT!!

I need to get the Gen 1 Vette still.. grr. Anyone got one they want to give me?

I can't wait for the new line.. let's hope I won't be broke so I can afford to get atleast one.

[xmodificationer]

I might just have to pick up a GTR if it comes out.

[KITT222]

'Vette and 'Stang are my choices of cars!

[taiwanesekid05]

Texan! This will be your chance to pit the GTR against the Corvette!

[xmodder24]

I'm going to save my money for the GTR and Mustang.

[noturday]

they cant be serious, another **** mustang? WTF? i understand the new vette and the gtr, but another mustang...what year model is this one gonna be...we already have a classic, a present gen, and a last gen, oh yeah, and a saleen as well. is this one supposed to be a future mustang? or are they gonna go for a fox body (dear Lord i hope to hell it's not)

and what happened to the trucks!
i figured they'd add the new silverado and/or tundra to the line-up, but i guess not
