Cosmo,

Honestly, it was not harsh enough... There have been many times where I have spoken up to help others in the community just to be hit with this kind of disrespect... This is not a bitch session thread... This is a thread for people to discuss their dealings with GTM and to get help...

I will not stand for animosity towards members attempting to help others. On the other hand if you want to step in and be unproductive then do it in an off topic thread where it is designed to be that outlet... This is not an off topic thread...

There is No help to be gotten here with gtm, it's done and over when they took peoples money knowing they were going to file for bankruptcy.. What gets me is they all of the sudden have resources to up and move and also have the ability to have their parts that have failed remanufactured .. Do you really think if sam is able to raise the titanic that he is going to offer to make things right with all that he has wronged??? If so I want what your smoking pal..lol

Or better yet since "I know where they stand with things and they are slowly working to get themselves into a position to make things right from what I am told" as you stated last week.... (sure damn sounds like a they're gonna make it right speech) why don't you try helping GrooveStyle get his money back since ur so knee-deep with Sam? That would serve this commhnity better instead of saying the same regurgitated B.S. over and over.

"It is going to take them atleast a year if not longer. Take it for what you will."
I like how you give them yearly spaces of time to get things right. We're long past monthly windows with them. Going on 1.5 yrs now I think....

Bunch of negative nancys in here.... I don't feel as if Bullitt is taking up for GTM. He seems to be giving out useful information. Just because he hasn't lit the torches and marched with his pitchfork, he's defending them? I really don't think anyone on this forum is happy with GTM right now, but don't take it out on someone who is providing a little insight of whats going on.

Elperuano,

I want what ever you are smoking... Let look back one week... Nope that wasn't said a week ago or even a month ago...

Not only that, but if you used proper reading comprehension you would have read that last section of the quote: "from what I am told" this is not my opinion but rather the forward of information to the masses from what someone else communicated to me...

The second quote you used is out of context of the conversation where I was giving my business opinion on how long it would take for them to get their business back up and running after they had downsized and gotten to a survivable environment. This was all hypothetical and in context makes sense...

But then again why should I expect you to understand this.... You have proven the inability to discern the transmission of facts from nut hugging....

I have spent more time and money than most with GTM... I also have a good bit of money/products owed to me as well...

So get off my nuts! If you do not have anything constructive to say to help people in this situation then shut the F up! We don't need your ignorant banter when it does nothing but stir the pot. Go troll my350z or some other board...

I talk to him all the time. Hopefully he will have the stroker ready to ship in less than a month. Yes there have been setbacks.
But make no mistake GTM will make a comeback.
A lot smaller but he intends to make every thing right over time.

A machine shop in town here just did a 4.0L or 4.3L (cant remember which size) VHR stroker for a non-forum-member I know. Took them about 8-10 weeks with delays in backordered main bearings from ACL and the first set of pistons being the wrong pistons. Cost him less than $10,000 for the entire short block said and done and assembled ready and waiting for heads.

The customer paid around $5000-6000 up front for the parts, then the bill for the machine work, assembly, etc at time of delivery.

Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with this shop.

Your statement was posted February 3rd of 2015. In Cosmo's thread. My reading skills are working just fine. Just go look at his thread in which you posted last week. Now, please pass me that blunt because i got no idea wtf ur smoking.
You're not helping $hit but saying the same crap that you said months ago. We all know you have spent all your money with gtm and that's no one but YOUR fault. We know you're phucked and HAVE to stick with them. All I'm saying is no need to act like a douche bag when someone rightfully so puts ur company down. Don't get all sensitive. You seem to want to vigorously defend the con man. Quit bringing that ******** here.
