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

bullitt5897

Like I said I won't disclose my pricing and for your info this kit is capable of WELL over 1000rwhp.... The build goal is 1000 RWHP and BEYOND!!! The kits you mention stop at those goals or on their best day make those numbers. Believe me when I say Sam has REALLY made this car a part of their marketing program to prove what they can do and what the platform is capable of.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but you my friend are talking out your brown hole... Those cars in themselves cost way more than the Z will even if I did the build twice. So you tell me... Spend $100k's for the lesser performance and a name OR spend less than $100k at list price and blow everything on God's green earth away?

I applaud your build and your defense, but I don't know how you're going to actually make 1000 RWHP usable. Sounds kind of like many Supra builds that have occurred in the past - cars that are more dyno queens than track performers. I believe it takes 1300-1400 WHP for a Supra to even break into the 8's.

If you do straight out admit you're building a dyno queen, then bravo. But if not, I'm curious as to what the purpose of the 1000+ WHP will be.

your not a jerk, it is just an opinion, you totally are explaining my point. You are telling people this build complete will most likely a total of over 60 or 70 G's plus your thirty for the car. None of those kits cost twice the price of the cars they are being installed on. There are far better proven engine developers for half the price, why invest double what the car is worth? seems silly to me. You can buy most of those lower cars for 50 or 60 grand with 50k miles or more, since they totally rip everything out of the engine, transmission, etc and replace it all with new beefier and better components why not start with something a little better, love my Z to death since I paid for it, but I have driven porsche TT, a 360, F430, gallardo, a ZR1, and if I could afford to upgrade, I would! Love my Z but there are better cars to do this too for the same price and even less if you search hard enough.

You have a great build and it is sweet, but most of us that can afford a Z cannot ever afford to pay more than twice the price of the car to mod it. Seems rediculous IMO, not cost effective for this general crowds budget but cool.
