Scott,

You will have to ask them directly. I am not allowed by contract to speak about my pricing. They are very customer friendly and have no problem making it for new customers.

Mike

Just got off the phone with them. Apparently they had no idea mikes cracked or the other. I said it's no big deal it was a long time ago but he seamed pretty worried.

Any who he quoted me $1830 for a GTC 500. Problem is they are out of 500's till mid June. :(

They must have a gtc 500 that has mounting points close like the 370z and they just include 370z mounts with that wing cause if you look at a GTR the mounts are very very wide.

Looks like Aeromotions it is since they quoted 3 day turn around.

That's funny, because I sent my cracked wing back to them to analyze and they sent me a new one (which I immediately sold).

Great packaging on the replacement one too! just a lightly wrapped wing in a big box with no stuffing or filler. :icon14:

After seeing you post this before I've been concerned about mine but I feel better knowing they replaced it.

Yikes.

Well I called back and got a hold of Tony this time. Nice guy and we talked a lot. Basically we ended up that he does know you Mike and another gtc300 that snapped on a vette. He did swear things have changed as yours was older and it might have been just a fluke. He also told me wings are maintanence items just like seats and belts and helmets. After 4-5 years or what they go through, they should be replaced for weakening with the sun and downforce over time.

So we talked this time about the GT-250 as a 2D might be better for me since I don't make the power for the gtc 300 or 500. I agree I don't want to die in the straights. The GT-250 is supposed to be awesome and Martin agrees as he told me a while ago to just buy that even over his Aeromotions he was gonna sell me. It has a Gurney flap and I went with the 71". It'll have 11" raisers so base plus wing should be an inch above the roof line. Guess I'll be the first 370z with it :tup:

Read my post above...hold old? How much use?

Not even a year, if I get 4-5 years I will be good with that. Probably 10-12 track days on it.

Should be fine. Sell to a street guy one day and get another. Also make sure it never gets hit or sat on etc. the vette I was talking about i guess had a little hit coming out of a trailer. Might have been enough to mess it up...or shipped like Mikes haha

If it was hit you really can't blame the manufacturer. In Mikes case while no excuse he was at Daytona (if I remember correctly) probably the biggest G force/ downforce track in the country. I spend most of my track time at Sebring and Homesteads road course, no where close to those Gs or downforce.

and mine definitely didn't have age/sun weakening. The car is kept in a garage except for the 1 weekend per month it sees the track. I think it was about a year and a half old at the time it failed.

I agree that sucks, was I right it was at Daytona?

yes, daytona. The aeromotions did fine there this year :P

It'll be interesting how solid the GT-250 will be. I don't think I'm gonna put 950lbs on it like Aeromotions but I hope it's strong.

Yeah Daytona is notorious for being hard on wings... It may have just been a weak one in the batch. I haven't seen another one fail yet so I am comfortable with continuing to run their products.
