But my point is still valid; I take any of these so called factory backed Ring assaults with a pinch of salt. None of these companies are above cheating, history has taught us that.

When Sport Auto does one of there respected tests then I will sit up and listen, maybe you should too

The F1 set all the records, again can't say as much with the P1. again P1=TUNED MP4-12C
