    Talking !!!!UPDATE!!!!!! Trying to gauge interest....

    First, I've cleared this with David and he has approved this topic.

    Now, I am attempting to arrange a group buy for a new lift that has come on the market. You can see it here: http://www.bendpak.com/Shop-Equipment/QuickJack/ They retail for $995 (including shipping) and I don't, yet, know if they would be willing to offer us a discount etc. I would like to see how many of you would like to buy one of these so I can negotiate with them.

    Please reply to this topic so I can keep track of interest.

    Thanks,

    Ray

    *******I have news.....The price (including shipping) is $908 (retail is $995.) Call Robert 800-253-2363 ext 181. You MUST tell him that you are from The Factory Five Forum in order to get this reduced price. Delivery looks like mid-April if ordered this month and the price, for now, will be good until May-01-2014. If you have any questions, please give Robert a call*******

    Ray , I looked into that lift and like the price, and would fit my needs. Im also looking at the EZ car lifthttp://www.ezcarlift.com/ It costs more, but doesn't rely on hydraulics (it uses an 8amp electric drill) to power it. I'm also a little concerned about the side to side stability. The EZ car lift also offers a group sale option.

    Ray, If you work out a group deal I am in. I used the link that you sent me last week (or was it two weeks ago?) and asked for some information on this product and their 4-post lifts as well. Thanks for your help.

    Thats a very nice setup Ray. Thanks for posting it. I need to do a bit more research to ensure it will fit under the GTM. Otherwise its a nice solution for the track.

    Interested pending price...

    FWIW, I don't think side-to-side stability would be a concern. The footprint of each rail looks at least as wide as your standard jack stand, so I'd find it hard to say it would be any less stable than what most folks are currently using.

    What Dan said above...

    I have a Bendpack 4-poster and this would make it the pefect combination for me... I'd be able to life the car off the wheels while it's at working height. Count me as someone who's interested in getting info on a discounted group-buy.

    Edited to add city/state - Aurora, IL area

    Also - a friend is interested, too, so you can count me as interested in TWO.

    “Under-steer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and over-steer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.”
    -- Jacques Schnauzee "World Famous Racecar Driver"

    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower."--Mark Donohue

    Just got off the phone with Robert (a very nice guy) gave him my forum information so that he can create the account and then send me an email with payment information.

    Thanks RAY,
