I'll admit that there are a lot of positives to this kit and all things consider it could be the 'best option' for certain people but calling it the best kit is a bit of a stretch.

He's made some wild statements like that before and has never explained why he thinks so. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to stay positive after such a long wait, even if you do come across as delusional in the process.

Just one example , find me a TT kit out there that does not require the removal of the front crash bar. Are there any ?

Now as far as reliability of the the components and performance of this upcoming kit, we'll have to wait and see once it has been installed, tuned and run on as many 370Z as possible. Keep our fingers crossed.

When we say what we believe is going to be the best kit on the market, that is our opinion and we try to make our products the best out there, and will always continue to innovate and make new and better products - as we have for years.

There is a lot of different criteria for what would constitute the best kit, kit A might be the best for a certain person while kit B would be best suited for someone else.

The group buy pricing, and the retail pricing are 2 different things. Also when you manufacture products in higher quantities you are often able to be more competitive on pricing and pass your savings along to your customers.
