All this talk has got me TAC'd off. I actually emailed a response to this
stream but it bounced back. As a person who bought their Tiger off their dad, I
thought the pedigree was sound. However, I am no expert and having the car
TAC'd in atlanta was reassuring. It was also educational allowing me to better
understand the nuances of my particular car.
If the TACers had all the time and resources in the world, an welcome service
would be to TAC specific part replacements, with the understanding that OEM
trumps all, but a stamp from the TAC would make the part acceptible and of
specific high quality, etc. In turn they could charge a nominal fee to the
manufacturer of said part...
TACing is similar to board certification or licensure - it gives people
reassurance of the quality of a product. In this case, the TAC ensures those
who have legit Tigers are recognized versus those who do not.
Now perhaps if an actual document existed with what they (the TACers) look for
to TAC a car, akin to the Book of Norm without the pricetag, that would also be
helpful. You may argue if that info were in print, it would be easier to make a
fake Tiger, but I think the benefit outways this risk.
My rusty two cents...
