When i go the track with my fully moded N/A set up i now feel that it might go 11.5 to 11.6 or lower.
Theres a lot more done to the car now. lighter, drag radials 305 35 18. horse power will be around 305 t0 307, 65 to 70 lbs lighter than before.
time will tell.
1st to go 13.20 @ 103 265 rwhp
1st to go 12.95 @ 110.92 292 rwhp
1st to go 12.8009 @ 110.32 292 rwhp

That sounds more reasonable.

I thought with that with an 11 second slip he meant 11.0

You seem to have some good drag experience, what do you think would be needed to get to 11.0.

RCZ...this is the kinda stuff that doesn't need to be in this thread...but I guess being a guy that actually has the GTM SC in my car atm...I must be the real immature one...

I haven't finished reading through the rest of the posts past this one, but feel free to correct me on anything I haven't read yet if you want.

That was their CARB legal kit, with 20" show rims as well.

To go 11.99 in my car 365 rwhp.
we should get back to the Stillen Sc discusion in this thread.
and leave the drag racing to the drag section.

I completely agree with you, which is why I even say anything in the first place. This whole thing is starting to get old. Most people who even have the money to afford this kit can make up their own minds.

Do I like Stillen? They haven't given me a reason not to so far and they have helped out with my build. That is why my sig says what it says. Do I have inside info about Stillen? A whole lot less than I do about GTM's kit.

Its not that I'm against GTM, I just like the Stillen kit more. When someone says they think the GTM kit has more engineering or is better, I reply with my own opinion, then just because I favor Stillen all of the sudden I think Stillen is amazing and I'm a fanboy.

I wish I could say I feel strongly enough about this dispute to spend any more time on it, but I don't really care what you guys buy or don't buy. To each his own.


And for the record, my comment about maturity was directed at the people who were actively coming in here and the other thread and making unnecessary inflammatory comments , not to everyone. My apologies to the rest, including you OMG37.

Not trying to make any enemies here, Its just a little frustrating sometimes when people do spew hype everywhere. For example the whole thing about Salesmen pitching the Stillen Kit and not engineers just because Stillen hasnt released information they want to hear so desperately. I dont think thats fair.

I love Peking Duck, its so delicious....

StillenZ 03-06-2010 06:58 PM

lol... this thread is depressing lol... Hopefully Stillen will start the Full Press Release thread NOW and this one will die soon.

CinZinnati 03-06-2010 07:28 PM

I have been following this thread from the beginning. Admittedly I'm a Stillen fan so I am eager for more info/press release. While I find the forums very insightful, I follow from a distance-not chiming in. But I can't resist with this thread. Why? Because extremely entertaining! Way more than anything I'm watching on TV at the moment. I gotta get in on the action! :ohsnap1:
However, I do look forward to getting back on topic and getting in on the real action

why do you believe you're the only one who has spent money and been disappointed?... perhaps you mean you're the only one ever to be dissapointed by a Stillen kit? yeah, that makes more sense

are you naturally vindictive? or just towards Stillen?

please share more of your valuable perspective

thanks

Reading the above quoted, yes, I assume the comment was meant in response to CBRich's post which was directed at me. 2+2=4 in my world.

Whether or not you trust in my past experience or like/dislike me is of no concern. I am here to keep vendors honest and to allow others the opportunity to learn from my past expensive lessons. Maybe you cannot appreciate this, but I am hoping others can and will.

One thing you do not seem to grasp. I am more than willing to give Stillen a chance to be completely transparent and forthcoming with the members of this board. This is not yet the case and it is indicative (and highly reminiscent) of my past experience with them. Not a good sign.

RCZ 03-06-2010 10:17 PM

They kinda already told you that you will find out when they release the kit. You seem unusually desperate to find out what PSI they are running. Thats the point, that you want them to respect your request for info, but you will not respect their answer. They have taken the time already to explain and give you a logical explanation of why they don't want to release the number, yet and you have not stopped asking even though you said you would when they did.

That' why people are getting annoyed.

travisjb 03-06-2010 10:28 PM

Stormcrow, would be helpful if you'd post a list of your specific technically oriented questions for stillen, e.g.,

1. why is ____ __% different than ...
2. why did you select ___ part, when ___ part is better at ___ by __%
2. ...

Then at least Stillen will have something they can decide to respond to.

Thanks

It's really not all that critical. Some folks are getting all spun up on getting inside information or whether or not their experience/claims are valid. It is all about when this kit will be released, how much it will cost, and what it will deliver with the incorporated parts/settings.

Personally, I am glad it is taking time to make an official release. It gives me more time to save my pennies up.

Hell man, I ate at the chow hall every day, only spent money on toiletries and came home with 40k in the bank, this is as an E6, you should do just fine when you finish over there buddy.
