I want to thank those members who have purchased, used and encouraged Kognition for our products over the past few years! As you may know, Kognition made the jump 2 years ago into the performance wing market. And with alot of hard work, dedication and support from friends and family, i am pleased to share some recent news:
EA Games Need for Speed Shift 2 : Kognition made it into this game on sponsored driver Chris Rado's AWD TC! (I can't wait to play this game)
Latest Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=929UZ6Nq-hk&feature=player_embedded)

DSPORT Magazine: Kognition founder / designer Mike Mishler is a Guest Editor in the up coming April issue! And talks about aerodynamic basics in racing!

The Kognition S14 is going back out on track this year (finally) :duh:
And i will be making a new build thread in the Premium Members section shortly, to help put some enthusiasm into the community. Running a business is tough in this economy, and running a race car in addition is even tougher. Which was why the car sat garaged the last 2 years. But with the hard work last year, i expect Kognition to do well this year. Thank you again everyone!

Mike, I love seeing the Kognition decal in the mags, or on Speedhunters, or Motormavens. It is so cool. I hope to see my stuff in the mags one day. You are an inspiration...Keep up the great work.

That's pretty awesome Mike. I remember a few years back when the Need for Speed game wanted to use the exhaust notes from my S13 for the in-game sounds for the SR engine. I couldn't make the drive to the location because it was winter time, but I thought it was pretty cool. Hell, you're going to have your business name in the damn game! It will definitely make those playing the game go get on the internet and find out who your company is if they don't already know. I hear you on the business, family, project thing... I barely have time to eat dinner in the evening.:D

Again, congrats!

Thats pretty sweet, i've noticed your work all over the racing scene in the last few years and always think back thinking that you kinda started through zilvia. You're works great and I also cannot wait to play shift2... sounds like they finally got the driving physics down.

Hey Brian, thanks man! Still rocking the S14?
Good work, Mike. It's beena long time!
Thanks, it is pretty exciting to get into the game, but i try not to think about it too much, because you just want to keep pushing forward and not take it for granted.

Glad to hear that your S14 is getting back to the track this year - keep up the good work! When I decide that I need some downforce in the rear, I know who builds the most functional and sexy wing out there. Until then, I'll just enjoy the radio delete panel.

I am bringing those back again. After so many requests
I still get asked all the time about my radio delete :)
Nice, those i might be bringing back this season.
great quality product you have. i get many compliments on my sunroof delete you made :)
You know we just set up Kyle Mohan with a new wing. So were going to see if the wing works out on his RX8. It is a very tough market, and unless you really love what you do, (in my case, wings) you will not make it in this economy,

Thank's Mike, also i do hope we can do more watches in the future. I think that they have a real place in motorsports.
