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

bullitt5897 · 11-29-2010, 10:29 PM

Yeah the stipulations are not bad and I get a good bit of leeway... however, I work for my sponsors to get them their monies worth... I have sponsored people before and I got pretty much nothing out of it and then I got some who brought me a lot of business. I look for the guy who will represent my brands and companies well enough to give sponsorships to.

I am already going to car shows, get on magazine covers and well exhibit the cars abilities so for me it was a no brainer...

@ Toner: The logos were made by Rav design for me for SEMA... Sam didnt have any available.

You definitely work for it, that is for sure. It is actually nice that you help out so many people with questions, not to mention repping some killer products.

Again, everything GTM has done has been made or developed on the fly!!! GTM is also working on several peoples cars so mine isnt worked on 24/7 like most want to believe...

My car does not take away from other peoples builds and several cars have come and gone while my car has been in their shop... And trust me I would LOVE to have my car finished already!!! I have been to their shop and each time I see my car or sit in it I want to drive it... its enough to drive you MADD!!! Since May I have been without my baby!!! But I trust Sam and the crew at GTM and I have a lot of more work to get done to the car outside of GTM.

Stay patient guys

HAHA It's cool whenever it gets done it gets done and i knew the Sit with the manifold and all that. These things take time and i was just joking wit u, but i gotta say you are one patient mofo.

Oh and the best kind of sponsorship is the RD sponsorship, no strings attached, you pay for the parts and costs and get all your labor (and maybe some part discounts) free so the company can develop new stuff on your car and learn things about it. i did it once bought all the parts brought it in but since no-one had tuned it before i left it with them (not GTM) for a few months and got it back running.

You do realize that with a Title such as yours, you will garner a lot of interest from others who have been around and heard the same words (Dreamer Threads) touted before... "*** 1000 HP and Beyond"
As far as I know, only a handful (or slighly more) of VQ's have eclipsed the 1000whp/hp mark, and GTM only has claim to maybe one of those (XKRs stroked G35)

IMO, est #'s should never be used to create an illusion or hype around a product. Let the proven power #'s, 1/4 times and quality of build speak, instead of marketing teams. I know Mark@PAS and am somewhat disappointed that his team would put such vaporware to print..
*It def does help with sales tho*

I am by no means trying to diminish your goals or aspirations, by chiming in on this thread asking for #'s.. I am just curious whether or not you will attain your goals and really would like to see what kind of power you will make when all the hype has cleared...

the thread was started around when the build started. They had 1000hp as a goal, hence the name of the thread. its impossible to have actual #'s before a build is complete. i don't really think its misleading.

The thread title is irrelevant.. Whats misleading is the fact that 1000whp and 1000hp claims were put to print, without any real world #'s.

Forget Mike...doesn't anyone care about all the members on this forum that are waiting on results!

I guess people don't understand the time/patience it takes to do a complete restoration of a car.
