ACPT carbon shaft

got this in the mail today....

Thank you for your interest and inquiry in ACPT's world class products.
We are currently manufacturing a prototype driveshaft for the Evo 8 & 9.
The cost of the EVO 8 & 9 ACPT driveshaft is $1200.00. The driveshaft
will take 2-3 weeks to manufacture once the prototype is complete, and
we accept Visa and MasterCard for your convenience. Attached is our
driveshaft brochure that explains the advantages of using carbon fiber
driveshafts.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.

Kindest Regards,

James Martin
Product Manager
ACPT Inc.
714-895-5544 ext.220

price is much better then ams cf shaft for 2k.

I'm assuming this should work on the evo 7's as well
since the ams one worked on the 7-9 models.

The group buy does sound good, not sure if they will drop it that much, but its worth a shot, right? I would love to see some pics of this one and maybe compare it to the other one available.
