The hate for Soho is just ridiculous there have been countless shops that have come and gone over the years in the VQ community. There the only ones that have stuck with this platfrom. Soho could easily do what all the other shops do and that is go with where demand and money is but they have chosen to stick with the VQ.

I guess we are supposed to give everything to everyone for free. It's the young generation of "Give me, I want, I want" people.
Or it is the "You are not helping the Community" folks. Just like a little spoiled brat that mommy and daddy didn't raise properly. Wait a minute, It is the "I am smarter than you crowd." I can do it for way cheaper. You got ripped off." Lastly, it is the " That is a terrible platform to do anything with. You need to build something else." The Mustang is so much better platform to build. Last edited by Spooler; 11-20-2021 at 08:00 PM. |

Since the majority of these r35 owners were coming from vettes, Porsches, even adding to Ferrari and Lamborghini stables, there was lots of real $$ flying around for a car that came factory TT’d with for the time otherworldly handling, platform etc. Most shops saw an opportunity to make real money from folks with deep pockets with many more higher end builds on the gtr platform and the return on investment was/is bigger. I’m mean that’s just Econ 101 principles at work. With enough time and money anything is possible. The z34 development is way further along than I could have ever imagined 8-10 years ago. At that elite top 5% build level there are better platforms for the money but you can make that argument about almost any car. Speaking strictly for myself, I only provide a contrarian/devil’s advocate pov on here periodically bc I consider spooler to be a forum friend. A real friend will tell you their honest opinion not just be a yes man or egg you on for entertainment. Also, the best way to reach a good decision on almost anything important is to always try and see the problem from all angles including the ones you don’t want to hear or like, it’ll help (spooler in this case) have the best chance of not missing something. Oh, and I like to give him a bit of a good natured hard time once in a while. |

I fully expect that the rear end of my Z will not keep up with the power once turned up, so I have a Winters Quick change on deck (fully upgraded 5g paid, paid for). The Quick Change is the tip of the peen because the subframe has to be changed out (2.5g), pair of drive shafts (2g), cut my custom drive shaft (2-500), TBM rear brake conversion (1500) and what ever else pops up (1-2g). Ok, so where am I going with this... oh yeah. I like that dudes build but there's SO MUCH cost to every damn thing. Sometimes it's beneficial to enjoy what you have for a little bit. That's why I'm going to run my car low power with the stock rear end even though I have the baddest rear diff out there. Just another thing mentality, especially when you have high standards, makes completion very difficult. I commend you sticking out all the set backs. An additional thought... I looked at buying those exact carbon fiber Tillett seats in that z06. ... Figured I could do that down the road. -- Edit That Frankenstein intake is MONEY.
