Wow that place looks like a amusement park thank you for posting. I can't believe all the toys they have there lol. I say good for them and glade they do have them. I would start to get worried if they try selling them, which would mean to me financial trouble lol. Also who is the owner of stillen just wondering since you seemed to get a nice tour of the place maybe the question was already asked? I kind of like how they have there hands in to everything though but damn I really wish they made a after market rear bumper since I like the design of there urethane front bumper. Thanks again man rep added for pics of the shop I really love when people get to take tours and all.

Please let us know if you're ever in Southern California, we would love to give you the tour and let you meet everyone here, as well as Steve Millen. Steve has been involved with professional racing his entire life, and with Nissan's for a good part of his racing career, including the winninest driver in IMSA Sports Car series with a Nissan 300ZX, and raced just about everything with 4 wheels. He personally is involved with all areas of development and manufacturing, and is 100% the driving force behind STILLEN. Here's a recent article done by Autoblog, complete with the Targa Rally he just came back from in the STILLEN GT-R.. I'm sure you'll enjoy the video: Steve Millen returns home to tackle Targa New Zealand [w/Video] — Autoblog Steve Millen Racing Heritage : STILLEN Quote:

Toner- As Josh (AKA "tall fat white guy") pointed out, the President of STILLEN is Steve Millen. I'm also his son, a lot of people think Dad has stepped back over the years but he definitely has not. Overall we have three buildings in Costa Mesa, with a little over 100,000 square feet of real estate between our warehouse/distribution center, fabrication and manufacturing facility and the main HQ which houses sales & marketing, customer service, service department/installation center, R&D, in-house CNC machine shop, modeling shop (body kit studio), and urethane manufacturing. We have been in business for 25 years with Steve being in charge every day and closely involved in every project.
To elaborate on what Josh said regarding Steve, his has won more championships and set more pole positions than any other driver in IMSA history. He also won the 24 hours of Le Mans, 12 hours of Sebring (twice) and twenty four hours of Daytona when he raced professionally for NISSAN in the #75 300ZX. In the same car he also won two world championships in 1992 and 1994 and was leading the championship in 93 but due to an accident at Walkins Glen with a few races left in the season he was unable to complete the season. If memory serves me correctly though, he had such a big lead up 'til that point that he actually almost won the championship even though he didn't compete in the last few races. One amazing fact about Steve, he has never lost a single race in his career in the rain. We won't be selling the toys any time soon but we do regularly sell some of the show cars. For example, the red and silver and orange mustang that you see in those pictures from Weiboy are for sale. The yellow one will be for sale in a few months I think. We have to make room in the shop for the new projects some how! Last edited by Kyle@STILLEN; 11-19-2010 at 05:37 PM. |

I have put a few thousand miles on some of our test cars however the only time that I actually monitored the fuel mileage was on the way home from a hill climb race. It was primarily highway type driving but there were also some mountain passes and slow cities that I had to go through and I averaged 27 MPG with speeds as high as 75-80 sustained and as low as 25 MPH for short intervals while traveling through some small towns.
