Reason is... no modders beyond bolt ons.
Very few car club reps.
Mostly vendors and salesman making business selling parts.
(Which is good in a way but they need there own seperate section in the forum)
No laser timing done with mods. People mod and dyno but don't put there car on lasers so we can tell if they are truly seeing increased times on there bolt ons.
So without this info. We can't see who is making the best bolt ons.
Which makes bolt on modders info minimal beyond there opinion on how things sound.

If u r modding and are serious about it? Show yourselves here!
If u r planning on or have recently dropped in a turbo? Show yourselves here.

Pretty sad that the genesis coupe forum has already turboed n modded there 2.0's n 3.8's to 550hp n have laser timed numbers to match n all I hear in here is
" I just put on my exhaust n it sounds great!"
I have my Z on order n am lookin for some real info from real modders so when I get it I can make better informed decisions.
I remember as an rx racer in the 90's Z owners seemed to be a lot more serious bout racing n modding than what this forum produces. What the hell happened?????
Feels like this forum has a lot of former german car owners.

Better to leave your post with the top question in the title and stop at that. The forum has many facets not just the topic you have brought up. Relax and find the goodness

To the OP,

1. Why don't you man up and start the trend of doing all the stuff you just mentioned!

2. The force induction options, at the moment, are limited. Greddy hasn't officially released their kit yet, neither has JWT (who likely will, there was talk months ago about a kit from them). The only TT options, at the moment, are the GTM and AAM. A lot of people are waiting to see more options before jumping onto something. A lot are also waiting to see the GTM SC and Stillen SC and possibly a Vortech SC as well because it seems that the preference is almost a perfect split between what people want for FI. (50/50, SC/TT)

3. The serious modders, IMO, are our Track whores. They have the skill to actually attempt to utilize the power they are putting down. What good is 550RWHP if you can't drive worth shit?

And if you aren't planning on going, at least will you please learn to stop putting every new sentence into its own new line. Its ok to be a little "run on" and make a paragraph, instead of the consistent break-up one line "nuggets of info" you seem to prefer.

Leave him alone he's watching Unique Whips to get his "modding" tips from the little fat Tony Soprano-wannabe on TV.
