A little banter between GTM and Stillen does nothing but give us an experts take on their competition as well as incentives to come out with a very high quality product at a reasonable market rate. I doubt anyone in the SC market is going to think twice if GTM puts out a great product because of Sam's actions. Stillen and GTM are in the market to make $, I'm happy to see that they also don't mind debating and discussing issues like every other member on this board so don't be so damn sensitive!

You miss the point as do many others. All I want to see is technical debating based on facts and hands on experience, not opinions from looking at a few pictures.. THAT is what brings value to the community. Debating what is vaporware at this point in time only stirs the pot and is pure posturing. Never forget what the all mighty profit motive does to impartiality.

It is slightly ironic that members will be called out all the time for making comments with 0 hands on experience, but Sam can't be challenged for the same thing.

Let's try to keep this to a technical discussion concerning GTM's SC. We shouldn't have to wade through pages of off topic posts to find info about the kit. Can a mod clean this thread up and delete all the pointless posts (including mine)?

Thanks.

SAM WHERE IS THAT PRESS RELEASE!

Zguy · 02-01-2010, 08:12 AM

lol I think it is still like 6am in Cali....

G37Sam · 02-01-2010, 08:37 AM

God help the moderator who will clean up this thread

JB-370z · 02-01-2010, 08:41 AM

I think we need to give GTM a break they are working there @$$ off to release this kit. They run into a problem, very understandable.
-Thanks GTM for all the hard work im sure it will pay off when the smoke clears!

GTM, only a few more hours until I go to bed. The clock is ticking.

ROFL - that's a great laugh! +1 for GTM! You people need to stop with the whining what are you 12? The car scene has never been nor will be a bake sale. This to me is absolutely fun lovin **** talk, and it should create better competition. It's how it goes down on the tracks/streets/etc and I don't expect anything else from these guys. That was clever tho Sam, good one!

Love a good sense of humor. Relax people! If this is the worst he has done, oh noes, I can't imagine how sensitive some of you are.

Seriously, there is so much **** talk in the aftermarket... especially among direct competitors. In the Mustang world it was ridiculous... we had rival shops and everything... so much **** talk... but nothing that would ever stop even the fiercest of rivals from enjoying a cold one together at the end of the day.

Zguy · 02-02-2010, 11:42 AM

I dont think its shady at all..... Sam's information is correct so I dont blame him for changing the post.... I think its kinda funny. Who comes to another companies thread and cries about what is said?

AND further more if you are going to come in and cry about something Sam said about your kit maybe you should come with some evidence that whatever was said is wrong. The same question was asked in the stillen thread about the sensors and they just bounced around it. Clear answers are good, crying about someone stating fact is bad and a little friendly competition and $hit talk is alright in my book.

JB-370z · 02-02-2010, 10:09 AM

Yall are mean who cares!

JoeyD · 02-02-2010, 01:28 PM

Man this is starting to remind me of the time I tried buying a supercharger kit from Toyomoto for my IS300. Lots of shadyness and name calling. I ended up almost having to sue the guy after 6 months of non-delivery, and eventually got my money back and took it elsewhere. I vote to put the clink on this thing before it gets further out of hand.

That being said...GTM WTF are you doing? Your kit has a niche the stillen kit will never fill (the sleeper look). Name calling and clumsy attempts at being slick (with the stillen quote edit) just make everyone, myself included, question your business ethics. In the world you two companies compete in there is only one standard, the performance standard, so please let performance speak without being clouded by slander.

Zsteve · 02-02-2010, 01:34 PM

Man, a little banter back and forth isnt hurting anything as long as they dont get crazy with it. You dont think pro teams dont banter each other before and during the game? Then they hug afterwards no matter who wins and they collect their pay check. Ive played plenty of B ball at gyms and let me tell you the amount of **** talking going on is HUGE, but most are friends and are having fun and dont take it to the next level. Lighten up some and let them have some fun. In the end it will be the numbers and price that sells the kits.

Brazilbro · 02-02-2010, 01:38 PM

Babys, there hasnt been any slander , 2 questions were asked about the other kit. They were addressed then the questions were asked to the maker of the "other" kit. Thats it. Its not the Sponsers hyping this all up.. its the members.. thats it. This talk isnt anything to get worked up about.. you should see the EVO forum battles between AMS and Buscher. Which flames are usually faned by members.
