The real reason this will probably the only one GTM will ever make is because almost nobody would be willing to give them that kind of money with all the horror stories others have had regarding their business practices.

While $1500 is more than many people would be willing to spend, there is most certainly a market for a high performance mani at that price point assuming it provides considerable gains. Given that ~340whp is about the max most NA people with full boltons have got, being able to get up to the 360-370whp range is worth the extra coin.

Honestly, I don't care what it looks like so long as the gains are great. Having a shiny piece under the hood is pointless for many unless the performance gains are there.

still there is the major problem. no one has pulled big or even good gains from any manifold. Z1 got a few HP here and there but nothing worth paying that kind of money for.

i'm right there with you. if theres a considerable gain then yea i got no problem handing over the money.

just need to make something that produces power. who cares if its eye candy or not.
vividracing and ViCiouS like this.
