GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond

Officially, I don't like the car anymore. Tribal vinyls? seriously? Parts look mismatched without cf trunk...blue wheels? Meh...

I Still like the engine though! Either way, respect for the amount of work that has gone into it.

IMO once you reach max level, tribal vinyl and blue wheels don't matter any more. You have an exclusive pass to rice it out all you want

whats wrong with blue wheels?..i like blue wheels!..haha

RCZ · 11-02-2010, 04:43 PM

Nothing is wrong with blue wheels, except they don't fit with any other part of the car. Q8y - tribals are the equivalent of a trampstamp on a car. Looks like they realized the wheels dont fit the color scheme and tried to put a little blue in the tribal. To each their own though, if that's what he likes, its his car.

the blue rims should match his burnt Zele harness bar nicely..

So is that where it is sitting for SEMA? right next to the street and the polls?

WShade · 11-02-2010, 07:46 PM

I think the vinyl is just for SEMA.

and i'm sure after he gets his car back they'll be some things that he will subtract/change/add. Like subtract the vinyl, change tire sizes (wider more profile), add CF hatch, then it will match perfect and be one of the HOTEST Z'z ever. IMO...

Alot of things are changing guys... The suspension was not dialed in before the show and the alignment isn't finished... I am at a conservative stance of -2.7 camber in the rear. If we go to -3.3~-3.5 camber it will tuck nicely. Also, the car will be widened when it gets back to Ga. As far as the tribal it was the choice of my sponsors to make the car look wild and unique... The car will probably get a new paint scheme next year. The blue looks sic and pics do not do it justice!!!!

bullitt5897 · 11-02-2010, 08:21 PM

Ohhh and btw if your at te show stop by the SPC booth in the main hall to see the car! Also PAS mag has the car on the cover of there newest issue I will have a few magazines tomorrow. It looks really good in the magazine!!!!

oreoleo · 11-02-2010, 08:24 PM

Where's all the sticker's anyway? Doesn't seem like a show car without 20 different stickers. lol

bullitt5897 · 11-03-2010, 12:01 AM
