It remains factual that none of the most serious Z-cars to traverse pavement ever relied on them for anything at all.

Now with them in deep hibernation, everything that some of you thought only happened because of them, well... it will keep on happening... and eventually the rest will notice how entirely unnecessary they were the entire time. Its like a bad break-up... not everyone is ready to let go or believe it's happened.

BP and FI clotheslined them with turbo kits... All thats left now to sweep GTM under the rug is a decent SC kit and a bunch of refunds.

My sympathy to those of you care, or those of you they owe money to.

Well except for the 5 or so odd years that they were the only company really making a kit for for our cars, well actually two kits, and built motors before the parts were readily available. yeah if you don't count that.

Those 5 years never happened. They have never been the only one making kits, they were just the only one bombarding the forums, and putting their name on everything anyone did. My Z has been twin turbo for a very long time, never have and never would use a single GTM part.

K1 rods (which are what GTM relabels as their own) have been available for a long time. Piston manufacturers always have and always will make you whatever you want within a couple weeks. GTM doesnt make any of those components... from since ever you thought GTM did, they were already available elsewhere.

So ya, I dont count any of that, you are just a victim of the grand illusion. Most "GTM" parts can be purchased straight from their true manufacturer.
