Dang pictures definitely do NOT do this car justice!!! The wheels are looking pretty amazing from the video. The color sure pops a lot more in the video than in the pictures.

how long is the car going to be left in rancho cucamonga, i'm heading up there this weekend and i might stop by to take a look...

God that looks so sick on the video... I'm stoked to see what a massive bar-and-plate looks like behind that smiley front bumper lol.

all over the place.. I'm pretty sure there were some people in this guy's thread on this car complaining. My point is, this timeline is no where close to accurate for a typical build of this magnitude. You usually see these dragging out for well over a year.

Ok daniel, get this straight my car has been with Sam and several other shops over the past year. My car has 15k miles on it from about 8 months of driving on it. Now I make it clear to those who do work on my cars... You have a dealine that has to be met! I told sam that deadline and he is on schedule my car is also bouncing around from 3 different shops. This is a very realistic build time and what most people don't understand is that if you want your stuff done on time you have to be involved in the build. There are only a few cars that I know of that are at GTM for long periods of time and you know why that is???? Because some other *used to be GTM installer f@cked up the cars and sam has to go back through them and then wait out the legal battles so he can finish his work! I know several guys who have already sent there cars to GTM and had them back in 2 months or less.

Thank you and enjoy history

My car was at GTM long before yours was and has only been worked on by GTM. Same build as yours, built, stroked, tt, fuel system w/ twin pumps, ect...It has been there since November. Maybe I should have set a dead line that had to be met then I would have my car back. There are always issues with any major build so you should consider yourself lucky to have the build going as smooth as it is.

Do u have a problem with my post? I am only stating facts. As with any big build, bolting all the parts on is the easy part. Getting everything to work together and tuned is where the work comes in. I cant even count how many hours Sam has spent on the dyno with my car and its still not done. I wished the op the best of luck with his build and was merely pointing out that deadline or not there is a long way left to go. I find your post telling me to gtfo offensive and unnecessary .

danielw

again, I'm not talking about this build. It obviously is high priority. I think some of the post may have been moved or deleted. There are people who have cars that have just been sitting for months on end. And its not just GTM. I have no problem with them. I just think people get unreallistic expectations of how long big builds will take. Most reputable shops have HUGE backlogs of work and when you talk about a built, stroked, twin turbo setup you're going to be looking at a year of downtime IMO.

Look at this build XKR Super G... Going for Mach 1 - MY350Z.COM Forums

Very similar to the one here. It was a high priority publicized build for another top notch shop and if I'm not mistaken the traction control still isn't done. These things take time. Ask some people who have done big builds at different shops (SP, Intense, Forged, GTM)

W.O.W. 370Z

I saw what he was saying in the FI 50 thread. We dont even know what his car is going to make and he is talking about dethroning the "top whp" Z. Kinda presumptuous if you ask me.

Builds like this take time. I hope the rush is worth it. Only time will tell.

bullitt5897

I am not being presumptuous as we have all the components to blow past the top Z's... Our 1 bar spring pressure will easily make 600+ rwhp noooo problem.

My statement stands. The attitude you are copping speaks to your cocky and insolent posts . You are doing this build and rushing it for all the wrong reasons, at least that what it seems like. The sentence below your avatar says it all.

This is a forum where people can voice their opinions. Again, I see you attacking people who are giving their opinions on your build. They are being civil . Telling people to "shut the **** up" is real professional man. Cut the act. Man up, take people's opinion as what it is...their opinion.

I agree, many things have been pushed, but I think if someone is honestly wanting to do this after bullitt is done it will help reduce the timeline a good bit.
The other thing is also how much prep is done before the car is not used. Some start ordering parts and working right away, while others stock pile parts until everything can be built at once.
