Fabspeed Motorsport of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, has been in business for over 25 years as a family owned and operated company. Fabspeed has 50 skilled craftmen and employees operating in 25,000sqft.
Fabspeed Motorsport serves a highly niche industry of the exotic sports car /luxury auto market with highly engineered performance packages that increase horsepower and develop wonderful sports car sound. Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bentley and Maserati are some of the lines Fabspeed supports and ships worldwide each and every day.
Because of the unique applications and performance parts we have dyno developed from stainless steel exhaust systems, intake systems, headers, tips, and software and the intricacies of the European makes, there are from time to time some rare quality issues. Though the exception, when something isn’t right, we take it back and make the part fit and operate correctly. Consumers in this specialized niche are aware of this dynamic and accept as a standard expectation.
In April 2016 Fabspeed Motorsport an independent auto repair / performance shop in Long Island New York bought a Ferrari F430 performance package for their customer. At the time of the sale Fabspeed did not know the end user as is usual when a wholesale account buys a part or system. Ultimately, the shop installed the Fabspeed systems for their customer who is named Sal Pane. Therefore Mr. Pane therefore had arranged for the system to be installed by a shop in Long Island New York for his Ferrari F430.
The Fabspeed F430 exhaust system had a minor weld fail at an O2 sensor and we offered a refund on the matter despite the fact that there is a possibility the shop he used made a mistake installing the system or Mr. Pane personal aggressive racetrack driving , including the fact that he raced the car thereby voiding our warranty might have adversely impacted our product. Fabspeed promptly repaired and replaced the component and reshipped the F 430 HJS German imported highflow catalytic converters to the shop for Mr. Panes vehicle. Mr. Pane had received Fabspeed F430 headers, F430 HJS sports race catalytic converters and a rear F430 X pipe and valved tips. The only parts that had any issue was the O2 sensor welds.
About 8 months later in December 2016 Mr. Sal Pane called Fabspeed Motorsport and started threatening Fabspeed employees and shouting obscenities. Sal Pane DEMANDED a FULL REFUND in December 2016 and simultaneously threatened Fabspeed with a lawsuit from his TEAM of corporate attorneys and said if we did NOT remit MONEY immediately he would create a website fabspeedsucks.com.
Mr. Pane called several times and said PAY ME so I go away or I will be your WORST possible nightmare. Pay me or I will kill you I have been to your facility and I know where you live. Pay me or its WAR and I will wrire terrible things about you, Fabspeed and do everything in my power to obliterate you.
In December 2016 a Fabspeed sales manager called Sal Pane and attempted a dialogue to solve this terroristic threat, extortion, slander and libel. We mentioned that inorder to refund any money we would need our parts returned and control and ownership of the websites that Mr. pane had rendered and a release. Sal Pane screamed and told our people to go F themselves. The guy is a maniac.
After that Sal Pane who often goes by multiple fictious aliases and emails for social media purposes such as Nick Naylor, Joseph P kept emailing and threatening physical harm and also threatening a social media war. For everyones information Sal Pane has had multiple legal encounters, including a FELONY Fraud conviction case with the US attorney's office. Google Sal Pane felony conviction and you can read about a convicted CON MAN.
Non-withstanding Sal Pane has also taken photos of the family home and emailed the company with multiple threats of personal harm, and serious extortion and multiple demands of $20,000.00 and other matters.
Sal Pane should down fabspeedsucks.com and cease slander, libel and defamation activities as we have begun our legal recourse to resolve this matter.
