Can confirm, he was let go after completing the technical portion of Gamma's twin turbo version 3 kit. I was on the phone with them in a 3 way.

Sam will still work behind the curtains with them. They hired him knowing he's a crook, it wasn't news to them, so please don't insult us with this BS.

this is just a soap opera for Z's haha

I'm glad to see that Gamma made a responsible move to be able to help themselves in this situation. Have Sam finish V3 and fire his *** haha. I hope the best to the new v3 and hopefully Gamma motors can set a better name for the product than Sam did. Hopefully issues are resolved as well in a timely manner

Actually he will not... I just got off the phone to confirm the news. Due to the negative reaction/Publicity they feel that it was best to part ways. This fits with the information that I have been telling everyone. Sam also hasnt returned any of my text messages or phone calls since friday which is rare... For Gamma this is good news! For New prospective Customers this should ease your decision to buy. From my conversations with the current management everything looks to be on the up and up. I am working with them on a few things and possibly a build for my nismo...

sooooooo can I make a quick poll?

who here thinks they actually brought him in, used him for a bit of knowledge, and then fired him?


and who thinks someone (maybe one of the faithful who still preach the GTM name here) mentioned the other thread and hatred over Sam's presence and "Gamma" went and "fired" him right then and there to maybe draw some customers back thinking that the cancer is gone.....



personally i'm purely business minded and option B seems to be what really happened.

I think they did before they handed him off. It makes sense. It was bad PR for them especially last week from this forum and MyG37.com. No bueno!

yea I read into that g37 debacle as well as obviously seeing it here.

it's rough because regardless if they did fire him or didn't they still are carrying the weight of his failure. too much bad PR against GTM and knowing it went to Gamma I see it being a rough road to recovery.

I mean you don't see too many Adolph's anymore do you?

that's what it sounded like they did. I've never dealt with them before. I called later to ask a quick question. He was super nice and told me to call anytime. I bought warpeacelove's unused uprev cable he got in his TT kit and they're still gonna give me the included custom base tunes and everything for my car. I'll keep everyone updated with how my experience goes.

I honestly think it was both. They brought him into the company to finish the v3 although knowing it would provide some rough feedback, but would make everyone in the communities take a breath and be like okay now that Sam's been fired for whatever reason it makes their company look responsible and that it will conduct none of the same actions that Sam has in the past.

That is the look that it gives anyway and its honestly a genius marketing scheme, because they get the whole new version of the TT system, but seem like they are a great company for Canning Sam


As to comment on FP's last post, it is sad to have the burden of Sam and GTM's screw up but honestly with the fact that they got the new technology out of Sam and all the customers that are unhappy, I see that incentive to buy the v3 kit for a bit more is going to come up. It gives them an opportunity to prove their worth and product to people of whom have been wronged.

It's true.

Dear Todd,

I am the owner and CEO of Gamma Motors. I was made aware of your contributions on the community’s forum and I appreciate your standing up for what is right.

You may have already heard, due to the issues the community has with Sam we decided, for the best interest of the business, to terminate Sam’s employment with the company. that was tough decision due to his knowledge and experience of our product line. We may use his services on an as needed basis, again for the best interest of our customers for continuity’s sake.

I appreciate you guys giving Gamma an opportunity. We have ready kits to ship including SuperCharger Stage 2 kits.

Regards,
Amin

If anything he will just be brought in as a consultant as needed, far far away from any business operations with Gamma.
