And I do understand the reasons why the dyno was posted, even before the press release and the final numbers are in. Lead generation is a key in marketing a product. I honestly just wish that vendors would not do this as there might be a lot of disappointed people in the end if the production release doesn't match the proposed release. But, that is not for me to worry with. You are certainly not the only vendor to do this and most certainly will not be the last, so some leeway is in order.

BTW, in the fray I have forgotten to ask. Will you guys be running in the Redline series this year?

Thank you for your understanding!

It is our goal to be running in the Time Attack series this year. I'm not sure what car we will be using this year or which events we'll be attending but yes, we do plan on attending some of the events with a car. To be honest, I don't think our Z racer car will be 100% ready until next year. We are working on a lot of parts that won't be ready for this years series and I don't want to rush them.

When I take over you know it's going to be Kyle Millen=KILLEN! (I have been hearing that all my life so I had to be the first one to throw it out there in this thread! LOL

Ok, so basically you're saying that Stillen is focusing pretty heavily on the 370 and will be developing alot of aftermarket options for us?

If it's the stealership downtown on 101 ........ it's all lies

They just want your car for joyrides and test pilots to make them money.
I wouldn't trust them from experience and the horror stories out in the forums ....... you have been warned

Any word on which class you might be entering? Modified or Unlimited?

I did get the opportunity to see the GT-R last year when I was at Autoclub. (last race of the RTA) It would have been nice to see it run. I know you guys have the GT-R in a different series...more of the road racing efforts...so I am doubtful I'll be seeing that one play. Unless....?

That should be interesting in the Z or GTR with Steve driving. Time Attack has been the latest fad for a while now and win or loose that would be good for you guys considering the magazine coverage. It might bring about some new/good parts too, I hope you use the Z lol.

Red370 · 03-08-2010, 05:09 PM

Man, i'd really love to see you guys do a fully built 370, 600+whp in the series....

LOL don't you want the developers working on the product and the salesmen selling it on forums? Dammit Shumby, the cold air is getting to you, man.

That comment speaks volumes, son.

370Zsteve · 03-08-2010, 05:36 PM

Any $$$$$ figures yet on the kit? Or Kyle, can you please post me a link to a similar kit (G, 350Z perhaps?) so that I have a ballpark number, or PM if you'd like. TY!

Again, you're doing nothing constructive here and you are only trying to be offenseive. It's not warranted and hurts the370.com community.

Claiming that Stillen is using illegal business practices in the marketing of their product is not "questioning them." Your comments are unwarranted and what you're claiming is probably not provable, even if it were true.

After reading your posts throughout this thread, you'll probably want to debate me on my use of the word "illegal", but "illegitimate" is referring to parentage of offspring. To use "Illegitimate" in the business context, the synonym which most closely fits is "illegal." Cross reference a thesaurus if you don't believe me. The interpretation by attorneys in a slander suit would also use the same logic.

About your most recent comment about my signature "solving your mystery;" all you are trying to do is deflect the criticism back at someone else to avoid scrutiny. I could answer with reasons like, they were first to market or they offered a group buy, etc.. But, the truth still is that you are being rude to too many of the people on this forum for no valid reason. I really am surprised the administrators have allowed this behaviour and not deleted your posts. If every member took the same attitude that you do towards Kyle and the other members of the Stillen team, or even Sam at GTM for that matter, they would simply stop posting to this forum. Think about it just for a moment; if Kyle was getting verbally attacked and badgered by EVERY person, they wouldn't post here. They would find another forum or advertising outlet that was friendly to them and release their information there first. And honestly, there are other 370z forums out there that haven't done as well and would love to get exclusive updates on aftermarket projects. If we chase off people like Stillen, GTM and Altered Atmosphere and they start posting their breaking news to other sites and refuse to post here, we end up killing the site. So please, use your sarcasm for humor, not to insult. And if you are skeptical of someone's data, post a rhetorical question, like "why would they do that?" rather than a direct confrontation.

Thanks,

-Phim

We have only scratched the surface of what we have planned for the 370Z!

The orange GT R is currently set up for Targa road rallies. We wanted to take the car on the track at Fontana but it had literally just come home about two days before the meet and was still set up in rally trim so it wouldn't have been very good. The shocks were too soft, the sway bar was too soft, the ride height was too tall...It would have been really slow.

The GT R racing in the Challenge series this year is going to be equipped with our coil overs, sway bars, and brake lines. We actually don't have anything to do with that car other than a parts supplier.

Steve really wants to continue with the Targa rallies which means the car will be traveling to New Zealand and Australia and a few other countries/events. As much as I'd like to make the GT R our Time Attack car, Steve wants to continue using it in the rallies.

If we're able to put together a Time Attack program we will be using a 370Z. We will probably start in the lower classes, then move to modified then eventually the hope would be to go to Unlimited. It really depends on development, money, and the driver.
