Redline Motorsports/DeNooyer Performance Division WIN Mothers choice award at SEMA

[TurboTravis]

@Maverick

Just so the record is clear I do not work for Howard. I work for the DeNooyers and run the Performance Division. Redline and the Denooyer Performance Division have a partnership to build the model line. Howard builds them and I distribute then. The DeNooyer Performance Division is a stand alone company backed by the largest Chevrolet Dealer in the area. I was hired to build the Performance Division and in the last year I have been happy with the partnership and with Howard. Many of the people that members seem to have problems with are not even connected to the program but due to issues in the past it seems to be the focus of a lot of these discussions. (Most of the people including Tony and the others I have seen mentioned do not even work full time at Redline) I have ask respectfully to be judged by my own actions and the track record of the Performance Division. If any one knows of any issued we have had please feel free to speak up. We have been in business 1 year now and sold over 50 modified high dollar cars. (That number does not include our non modified cars that we also sell)I personally know we have had no issues. 88slowmarro I am not sure who is giving you information and we have met in person and I would hope you would say I am a straight up guy. But they do not make the decision of who I do business with. I do. I am the person that put this partnership together in the first place. It started when I ran Salisbury Chevrolet in Scotia many years ago. I created the DeNooyer Performance Division and started it on my laptop in a small corner office. It is now a stand alone facility with 7 full time employees. I am more than aware that some of you have issues with Redline. To be honest that is between you and him and I really do not need to be in the middle. I know Mr.Coppolla because he lives down the street from my parents but both Mr.Coppola and myself have been very clear that we have never discussed building cars together. It is as simple as that. As for Tonys ZR1 I have already explained what the problem was on that car. So whoever gave you other information does not know the details. It has been sold and it currently is running fine.
I came on this forum as a normal member and have been more than respectful to all of you. All I have ever asked is to be treated as I treat other people. I may not be perfect but I believe I have always been fair and rated people by my experience with them face to face rather than the word on the street. (If I listened to evertything people said about shift 518 I may not have joined) But I gave it a chance and still do. I think we all deserve that priveledge.
Sema was a big show and Redline and the model we exclusively distribute through the DeNooyer Performance Divisdion did place in the top ten in the mothers competiton with over 800 cars judged on a point system. So somebody seems to like it.
As for the Hot car award. The camaro was the car that was picked and we were part of the group that represented the model for Chevrolet. The Mothers award was won all on its own.
I can take some flaming. But I have an issue with rumors. If anyone wants to know what the story is concerning the partnership call me. But unless it comes from me I would not believe the hype. By next year a lot of these un true myths and rumors will be very easy to dispute. I will not release the details but the Partnership is going strong and we will be announcing it publicly in the coming months. I think it will shut down a lot of these rumors. I will give you a clue though the DeNooyer Performance Division and our partnership is not changing.
I have been hearing this Coppolla rumor for over a Year now. Copolla even came on the forum and set it straight. SO…why does it keep comong up? I personally had a hand in repairing Tony’s ZR1 and have more than explained the issue. So why does that keep coming up? That car was not even my car it was DeNooyer Chevrolet’s. I do work for the company but it was not even a car I was selling through the Performance Division.
Lets put it this way. I run a company. I do business with a company that some of you have issues with. How about you judge me on my own and give a new guy to the forum a break. I am not asking you to be cheerleaders I am just asking for you to judge me personally until I am not deserving of your respect.
I would hope that the time would come that I could post information concerning our Performance Division on the forum. If the members do not wish me to do so then I will just move on. I would hope that would not be the case.

For what it is worth.

pardon my spelling and punctuation ahead of time.

Most people on here won’t ever respect anything that comes out of Redline due to the way that the owner treats current/potential customers. We understand your connection with Redline, but again, coming on here and promoting Redline’s work is never going to end well. Howard made it that way…not us.
