anyone interested in a group buy for FI (TT or SC)?

Well if you haven't driven something with that much power you are probably going to **** your pants.

i really hope so............

about 5 years ago, when i had my s2000, i had the pleasure of "tasting" about 400 RWHP S2K at inlinepro in VA.

the total asking cost was $9K including installation, tuning, and all the supporting mods.

i felt in love instantly, so i even put down a deposit........... my car would had been the first one to have that realm of RWHP for s2k............. this is about 5 years ago..........

but due to unexpected financial obligations, i had to withdrawal............

before purchasing my 370z, i had a big dilemma........s2k or z......

fyi, inlinepro is currently running 900+ RWHP s2ks..........

nonetheless, convertible is convertible.........the road noise is just unbearable to the unaccustomed........... so i decided on Z...............

but after the first wk, the road noise was the same............ but i had been accustomed to s2k, so i was ok.............

just crossing my fingers to have more ppl interested........... i am actually decent/good at negotiations, so we will just have to see....

When I was faced with the same dilemma, I made a hard choice... now the S has become the winter beater I have to watch for snow on the ground, though, as the low lip (tough to see in the first pic) turns the car into a snowplow.





BC, where in VA are you? There's a really good, clean, multi-bay shop in VA that I've worked with for several years, not a single complaint against them that I'm aware of, and they will probably be my tuners for the Z (once I get around to installing the TT).

EDIT: I just remembered.. that first pic was taken while the S was sitting on their dyno in an enclosed, exhausted room.

very HARD to see when my eyes can go lower than the main bodies. HARD bodies I might add. So who cares about the front lip with that pic. lol

Most people get used to that power level pretty fast. I have/had 3 vehicles over 500hp now at the wheels. What is scary is when people do power, but not tires, suspension, and brakes.

Question - is GTM going to ship their kit at first? I thought it would only be available for in house install initially?

we shall see.......... i am still waiting for the dyno results and PRICE

even if it were designed to "only be available for in house install initially," i am pretty sure if there are many interested buyers, they could/will work something out....

so............come on ppl.................show more interest........ so that we all could be happier with more power........

You know what I'm getting at, though... there are people who can barely handle their 332 hp and are already looking for 400+ whp. That's a scary thought.

I am in. I want a supercharger from either Stillen or GTM, at teh moment I am leaning towards GTM. I want a self install kit that I can do in my garage. I am thinking by this summer would be a good time for me.
