I agree with you. I would love to see a lot more information about Torvec in many different media forms. I have promoted the idea of a marketing campaign for years. Management either disputed any value in more public awareness or pointed to confidential agreements/testing/networking and for years they didn't have anything that wasn't a one off prototype. The Rover was something, but we saw what happened to NASA. I suppose if the aftermarket production does get serious there will have to be actual marketing that goes beyond press releases.

You do have to put yourself in Torvec's shoes. If the Corvette snapped the driveshaft instead of busting the IsoTorque, what do you gain by telling the world? Maybe GM would be ok with that public announcement, but I have to think everyone decided there would be no point in embarrassing a potential client. Aside from this board do you think anyone remembers that race? If they can successfully sell aftermarket units for Cameros, Corvettes and maybe Cadillacs, even you and I will forget that race. I hope they do, I hope GM,Hyundai or some other OEM announce they are going to incorporate something from Torvec, I hope the mining equipment company buys something, etc. 2011 could have been a lot better for many of us, let's hope 2012 is full of good changes for all things Torvec and those who have held on.
