GTM Performance Engineering 370Z SUPERCHARGER KIT PRESS RELEASE

MMC Racing

If we compared the number of people seriously interested in superchargers with the number of people seriously waiting to do a 1000hp build, you would see your balance shift one direction dramatically.

maybe so but you may not understand the recognition a 1000 hp Z can bring to the company. Its not always about you man.

To follow your line of thinking, just think of the recognition a successful supercharger kit could bring to a company when your competitor is stumbling. Instead of driving a stake in their heart, lets just trickle these things out and give them time to repair their reputation (and kit).

As to being about me, from the number of posts in all the supercharger threads, it would seem there is plenty of shared interest.

YOU were the one that said YOU were annoyed cuz YOU might have to wait longer. I didnt see the words the community or us. And big sponsorships can come from big HP cars for these companies. Im sure they can find a balance for both. I really doubt this is delaying the SC any, they are just trying to get it right since the other is having problems and they dont want to have the same thing happen to them. If they come out with a kit that doesnt require a car to be parked for 2 months after its installed they still got the one up even if it came out a little later. patience is a virtue I guess.

Well stated. I know Sam very well and I know he is a quality control freak.

You guys crack me up.. GTM was talking about development of their supercharger kit in Sept 09, with a big announcement in what March 2010? Now it is mid-August 2010, almost 1 year since they first talked about it..

Stillen is the same way..

I think patience has been shown and exhausted..

Now, still in for UPDATES.. Someone is going to sell me a kit once it is proven. I'm not a beta tester unless I'm getting it for free.

Im with you on that and if I cant get my GS LS3 vette here soon I will settle for a SC kit for the Z. Im still leaning towards GTM and would hate for them to come out too soon and my car be sitting in the garage or shop. I dont pay a monthly payment to have my car sittin.

I really don't mean to add fuel to the fire, but the cheaper kit that eveyone can afford isthe bread and butter for the financial viability of a company. Toyota makes their money from camry's, not LFA's. Chevrolet makes their money from suv's, not Corvette ZR1's. Yes, it's a crown jewel, but it doesn't keep the company afloat.

I have a new Rotrex SC never used or installed for sale. I was going to put it in my 370 Z. The car is totaled so this is for sale.

PM me if interested.

....now back to your regular thread drama

Zsteve

no but they do it so it can bring in recognition by being in races or magazines all of which brings things to the company we dont see. Basic marketing really. People are gonna buy anyway, and from what Ive seen in this forum guys will buy almost blindly and then buy more a few months later so the company is going to make its money anyway and they know this. How many times have people in his forum bought something blindly and then a few months later the same company comes out with another product only to be bought by the same people that has to replace the first product they bought. ie HFC to LTH. So I guess my point is they will make money with the SC and they will get their 1000 hp car out and we will buy no matter what. And we will wait for it.

And by the way when Chevrolet was in a bad way tand they were trying to relate how they were losing money, guess which vehicle they used to make the comparison, the vette, so they do make huge money off the vette.

So very true, that is a valid point and one that has particular resonence in the aftermarket tuning community. It is not like waiting another 3 months or 9 will have a huge negative impact, you just have to wait longer to spend your money but that extra R&D will net you a FI solution that will have kinks worked out for a smooth bolt on installation. No one wants to buy a kit for $6,000 plus and have to spend hours or more money trying to work out the kinks caused by less product research and development.
