AMS in the future

As I was pondering about AMS pioneering the Evo world and being the premier (in my oppinion) tuner/fabricators for 4g63 performance I came up with a few questions. I was wondering about what the future holds for Automotosports, and what Automotorsports holds for the future for everyone else.
I know that AMS is not exactly brand loyal in the sense that they can apply their tuning wizardry to anything with an internal combustion engine, But i'm curious to find out what they see in the near future. so heres a few questions I had, and I hope AMS/ Martin or Whomever doesnt get to annoyed with these.

1. As the Lancer platform and 4g63 platform comes to an end for the Evolution, and as you guys keep charging forward into uncharted territory with the current platform, are you looking forward or dreading the EVO 10 as it comes to us with an all new platform and without the 4g63.

2. Additonally Are there any new platforms that you see will be a new addition to the AMS family that your looking forward to start to design parts for. ( New Nissan GT-R or Audi RS4 Perhaps.

3.Do you ever see yourself as a shop designing and testing parts for more upscale vehicles? BMW and Porsche perhaps, I know that you have tuned just about everything under the sun, But maybe looking to branch yourself into a more upscale market in the future.

Sorry for the long questions, just thinking of where fuel injection tuning is going to go when all of these new vehicles are coming out with newer technology to try to stop any and all aftermarket performance enhancements. Thanks in advance for your Time.

Have you seen our efforts in the 240sx market? We have already had custom rods built for the KA motor, machine our own fuel rail and have full fuel systems for them... We are currently working on a turbo kit for the KA powered 240sx... An intake manifold based off the VSR intake for the Evo DSM is in the works for the KA also...

Please visit www.turbo240.com to check out what we are up to....

We have had this talk many times. We dont know what the future will hold for AMS but we can assure you it will only get bigger.

We would love to get our hands on the new skyline and also dabble in the Porsche market. Time will tell.

Yea, you guys definatley have made some serious serious progress with a motor that everyone says is a truck motor. I know there always will be a market for all of the later platforms, im just real worried about where tuning is going to be in 5 years, with the evo 10 and direct injection and Drive by wire, I think improvments on such a platform arent going to be very worth while. I guess basically what im asking is. Do you think AMS will have a new evo 10 or skyline or whatever. Or is Tuning starting to be alot like a Resto-Mod project?
