Don’t kill the messenger.

A business will decide if making parts is viable. Just as Hurst has decided NOT to do so, as making the part is not profitable — right now the 6th gen is relavant as it’s still in production. Thus a business will try to strike while the iron is still hot and demand is probably going to be higher.

If the 5th gen was still in production then it would be different. Relavant as in making parts for an out of production car. Basically when these were made, the iron was still ‘hot’ as the car was still in production. They still had about 3 years where these could be sold.

Relavant— how many car mags are taking about modding the 5th gen? How about the 6th gen?

Those are what help sell aftermarket parts. Have you noticed some of the long time sponsors have not re-upped their sponsorship (ADM comes to mind)?

Agree to disagree...from mfgs and shops i know....5th is as relevant for aftermarket if not more than 6th...and more 5th gen parts are being sold, for the sheer reason of numbers, and the fact most 6th gen owners are not readily modding now because of warranty. Again, we are talking about a part here that never really sold in the first place, it has nithing to do with relevancy, but to do with cost.
