GT Motorsports: 370Z Supercharger system development

Zguy · 02-02-2010, 12:42 PM

I dont think its shady at all..... Sam's information is correct so I dont blame him for changing the post.... I think its kinda funny. Who comes to another companies thread and cries about what is said?

AND further more if you are going to come in and cry about something Sam said about your kit maybe you should come with some evidence that whatever was said is wrong. The same question was asked in the stillen thread about the sensors and they just bounced around it. Clear answers are good, crying about someone stating fact is bad and a little friendly competition and $hit talk is alright in my book.

Man this is starting to remind me of the time I tried buying a supercharger kit from Toyomoto for my IS300. Lots of shadyness and name calling. I ended up almost having to sue the guy after 6 months of non-delivery, and eventually got my money back and took it elsewhere. I vote to put the clink on this thing before it gets further out of hand.

That being said...GTM WTF are you doing? Your kit has a niche the stillen kit will never fill (the sleeper look). Name calling and clumsy attempts at being slick (with the stillen quote edit) just make everyone, myself included, question your business ethics. In the world you two companies compete in there is only one standard, the performance standard, so please let performance speak without being clouded by slander.

Man, a little banter back and forth isnt hurting anything as long as they dont get crazy with it. You dont think pro teams dont banter each other before and during the game? Then they hug afterwards no matter who wins and they collect their pay check. Ive played plenty of B ball at gyms and let me tell you the amount of **** talking going on is HUGE, but most are friends and are having fun and dont take it to the next level. Lighten up some and let them have some fun. In the end it will be the numbers and price that sells the kits.

Brazilbro · 02-02-2010, 02:38 PM

Babys, there hasnt been any slander , 2 questions were asked about the other kit. They were addressed then the questions were asked to the maker of the "other" kit. Thats it. Its not the Sponsers hyping this all up.. its the members.. thats it. This talk isnt anything to get worked up about.. you should see the EVO forum battles between AMS and Buscher. Which flames are usually faned by members.

DannyGT · 02-02-2010, 02:48 PM

I'll say it one more time, re-*******-lax...He changed one word on a quote, on a forum, on the interwebs...and you people (like 1 or 2 LOL) question GTMs entire business practice??? Again, you shouldnt ever go to any car competition at all then, because you may weep like little girls with all the **** talkin going on. Let the MEN play like MEN!

It will only bring competition between the two to the next level which means, US, as the consumer should get a better product. I truely hope both meet and exceed our expectations because that should only drive the price lower with more options out there...

kdoske · 02-02-2010, 03:40 PM

I agree, who cares. I'm sure him and his co-workers were sitting around the computer laughing there *** off as he backspaced the 'in' off of the word inaccurate in the original post.

professional--who knows!
Funny--hells yeah!

This makes perfect sense.. Both were going to release average products BUT THEN some words were said on a forum and they then took it to the next level...

People are talking about teams and shops talking **** as being normal. True enough.. Well these shops also happen to be the manufacturers and they will be selling these kits to customers and other retailers. There should be a different level of professionalism here in my opinion.

I WELCOME head to head comparisions and if words are going to be said about another's kit, then bring the data and present it. Until then, it is a case of blowing hot air (non-supercharger reference).

Buddy Revell · 02-02-2010, 04:15 PM

Well, getting back to the topic of their SC, I was wondering if GTM's kit will have an open-atmosphere blow-off valve or a recirculating one?

It will probably be open-atomsphere, with an option to purchase recirculating. But who knows

If this theory is correct we will be seeing some ultra high end products. Once again, nothing to complain about.

They already showed us that it has a recirculating valve. Look closer.

StillenZ · 02-02-2010, 08:48 PM

So I tried to find it in this mess of posts but I can't seem to remember or find when Sam said we could expect the full press release?.... lol i need full release at this point

Zguy · 02-02-2010, 09:50 PM

StillenZ · 02-02-2010, 09:57 PM
