[Euro]

Kinda sad, a 100 year old company filed bankruptcy!!!

I hope someone else will either buy them out, or they will try to get back on their feet.

thankfully when a company goes bankrupt in this country, its not the end of the road...just gives them a chance to pay off their debts while they get back on their feet

still sucks tho

Funny, my friend is pretty pissed about this because they had just released a new intake manifold for LS3 motors which is supposed to net higher gains than a Ported FAST intake.

It sucks yeah, but what have they been making lately? Sure they make stuff for old cars but its not really a big name in the bolt late model game

UMMMM you ever hear of a company called NOS? they are owned by Holley. so is Earls, which if you own a race car, you will have probally a dozon of their fittings on your car somewhere. Hooker headers too....

Point is they weren't the name they used to be, great they have smaller company's but they had something with the holley name in the '60's which is not true anymore. I think. Earl's how many fitting's can you sell? Hooker headers, I would rather buy another brand, and NOS thats better than the previous but none of them have the name and everything else that used to surround the holley name. When someone was talking about their muscle car and they got to the engine there seemed to be a sense of pride when they opened the hood and said a holley four barrel; none of us are popping the hoods and saying Holley anything.
