Reflections on GTM over the years

Kingbaby

Sold to the highest bidder !?!

All it needed was good media, a solid video of it smoking tires or launching from a roll on the highway against another exotic!

In this Social media scene you'd never ask what it traps!

Now that he's in bankruptcy, it will be significantly easier to reclaim property he's "holding" as he has no claim to it anymore.

omg that's mike... Holy crap I often thought after seeing you go that it was a for sure sign of a sinking ship.. What a shame because you guys had such a good thing going. Good luck to you mike..

After seeing this thread and all the issues all i can think of is that several 350z owners attempted to warn people here about GTM and the known issues from the shop and where berated and banned............... and that was years ago.

now everything they said would happen has happened, and it is the exact same thing as what happened to the vq35 crowd.

GTM reputation has followed them accordingly as some of us from the g35/350 said it would happen. The factors that played in the demise started loooong ago just had to be able to read between the lines and you would've noticed.

I can remember the only positive I'll take away dealing with gtm was actually speaking with Mike. There was a thread (which was cleaned up of some posts) where Mike reached out to me and asked me what he could do to help. I considered that to go above and beyond his responsibilities as an employee of a company being bad mouthed. Mike, best of luck to you moving forward. Stand up guy.

They had some great products even if it wasn't theirs. The Garett turbo kits are pretty good. I sold my stage 2 kit after over a year n 12k miles. My manifolds were the few that DIDNT crack.

MY only reason buying a GTM kit was I needed a good turbo kit and at the time gtm was the only company making turbo kits for the g37/370 platform (darn you BP and FI for not making your incredible kits sooner)!

I'm glad to see that the admins have finally shut the door and are being active in protecting the community. While every newbie should do their homework, it's good to have someone point you in the right direction also. Modding these rides ain't cheap and I can understand the frustration of dropping serious hard earned money only to get burned. Hopefully this bands the community together.

Sorry to hear all the victims aka creditors. You need to file a proof of claim in the case, file motion for turnover if your car or property is being held. go from there

Pretty ****** up if you ask me. Things happened for a reason. Last year i called and spoke with Sam about some 650 for my new car at the end i didn't do it and after hearing alot of bad things about GTM delivery and etc, even worse.

Now this...its a shame how thing end.

Just curious, what's the issues with the Mitsubishi turbos that would cause such a high failure rate? Are they really China knock offs stamped Mitsubishi?

nomodsjk

I used to believe this. Now it's my belief that karma is generally very busy and could use some help from time to time. Sam is a prime example of karma being very busy. Hopefully someone or something will assist karma in his case.

Rusty

He already had a case of it when he had his head cut open.

Agreed. Stupid evil people will have stupid catch up with them. That is what most people think of as karma. Smart evil people get caught much less.

Don't worry too much people, knowing sam he is already working on a new company name and a new business to do it all over again...

DEpointfive0

I don't doubt it for a second that he's got another business name ready to swoop in to keep GTM running

That's good to know. Thanks, Mike. BTW, the admins can update your forum name. You're definitely welcome to stick around.

Looks like my project is at a standstill even if I had the funds for it. :/
