Even though it has different contexts, at least we're staying on topic of race.

i hate you frank lol!

ohhhhhh i show u very nice time!

Easy there e-killer... and what opinion do you speak of?


...Did you get sand in your puss-hole?
The fact is, this "legendary build" has not put down these "claimed" #'s.. If you can't handle that reality, then its to dam bad.

Read the thread title thou. Its says journey to 1000hp its like a goal.

your right we do need to go widebody

Even if they don't make a 1000, it will still be a legendary build cuz his car will rub sh!t in the face of most other 370z's when it's done... oh wait it does now, sorry, sorry, couldn't catch that what your car has 500hp and a lip yeah can't beat that. :stirthepot:

I don't think there's any question that 4.5l of displacement plus the turbos being used here will go well beyond 1000whp, what bugs me is the timeline they layed out that had the owner touting that it would be done in july.

Please don't get confused though, I only wish I had the wallet and balls to pursue this kind of project and give the highest proprs to the owner and gtm for what they're doing. But unreallistic timelines presented by shops to customers (even customers moved to the front of the line) are one of my pet peeves. That is all

It is one if my pet peeves as well. Hell, MRP is my job. I make sure my suppliers deliver their engine parts on time to Pratt & Whitney.

But in any case...when there is a project taken of this magnitude, a timeline doesn't mean much. They are engineering parts on this car that will be produced as aftermarket products for purchase for our community. They are doing all the R&D. Add this fact with the hundreds of other customers GTM deals with... the R&D can't be placed on a time constraint. That's one thing I learned when I used to work for a VQ shop.

Only reason why a time line was generated is because of the community constantly asking when is this going to be done. You guys are nit picking the little **** and giving to much concern over it. There are alot of stipulations here and it seems like alot of people have a hard time thinking logical. If this was just going to be a build and then push out the door mike would probably have his car back. But knowing mike he is letting them document everything and figure out what a kit would need to make this happen to every nut and bolt so maybe one day if you want to do this and ask for a price SAM will already have it laid out. There is more going on then what people on this forum know. Mike could have changed his mind on parts, sponsorships could have not gone through so parts had to be removed to somebody that is sponsoring. Mike could have told GTM to push it back and get caught up on other customers. Mike could have not had the funds to continue one week and had to wait till payday. I am not saying any of these are true but they are all factors including mike paying for some things. Remember he is coming out of pocket alot of this. To come in here complaining about time line, and magazine posting is so damn trivial. This is his car and he is willing to share it with us, he could have kept his mouth shut and you probably would have never known it existed, which i kind of wish he did because of all the remarks through out this whole thread.(I am talking about from day 1 till now). Not trying to be rude but just seems like others are posting comments about things and not knowing the full story, it's like were in a solid gold building and people are bitching because there is 1 flake of silver on the floor.

Thank you Frank!

You guys have to understand there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on here... Timelines were given to represent that we were pushing to have the car done for shows like SEMA... Several of the parts had to be hand made by fabricators. You know what the crazy thing is... Everyone talking out their butt about my car being pushed to the front of the line!!! That is completely untrue and a false claim that keeps getting pushed forward! Many cars have come into the shop gotten their installs and are now on the road after my car was started. We planned on having the main work done in august and tuning to begin then when everyone put a lot of interest in the gtr manifold I called Sam and we arranged to make my car the test bed in august. I also have other sponsors who had to work on the car!!! I also had photoshoots for the car... This all takes time away from GTM from working on the car. The complaints here are completely childish and retarded! When people started making the claims that my car was taking priority over everyones build I did a surprise walk in a gtm and guess what there were several cara being worked on but one... Mine!!! So get a grip guys and be patient!!! There is sooo much more in store for this car you guys have no idea about!!! If you have questions ask and I will answer the best I can.

Thanks

Mike

Thank you Mike for your time and everything else that went into this and is still going in.:tiphat:
