I guess everyone assumes GTM has not put their S/C through rear world stress tests because they didnt post videos? I remember Sam saying in previous threads prior to their TT release that road testing was neccesary before pubic release, no reason to think they wouldnt do this on their S/C.

Road testing and stressful track testing are two completely different tests my man, one is to check functionality, the other to check reliability. You cant tell how reliable a setup is until its abused in the most adverse conditions, Stillen has done their best to replicate this and their setup held up, so far, as far as reliability and functionality go, i'd say theyre ahead, but im not jumping to conclusions until more info is released for both.

Road Tuning is not the same as track testing. Its not because they haven't posted videos, its because they said nothing about it in their big press release. You would think thats where pertinent information about reliability and testing would go, but instead we got a lot about pretty parts, a lot about the supercharger they are using, a bunch of pictures, one dyno and a price. Sorry and some vids of a dyno pull. Not that there's anything wrong with that either, but thats what was released.

I'm not making any of this up, it is what it is. You guys are making a big deal out of this too. I just said Stillen has done testing, not that GTM hasn't. I just don't know about it if they have.
