Am I the only one who caught the amusing misuse of the word "prolific" in that press release ?

Company founder and president, Sharif Abdelbaset, is one of the most prolific VQ35 tuners in the country and has been featured in numerous publications, including Turbo Magazine and DSport Magazine.

pro·lif·ic Pronunciation Key (pr-lfk)
adj: Producing offspring or fruit in great abundance; fertile.

Haha, congrats Sharif, I guess you're one of the most fertile tuners in the country now. lmao

Slay, I'll leave that up to you!

But for the record, its not a misuse of the word. It is used all the time in mainstream media.

2) Producing abundant works or results: a prolific artist.

WOW this is great Sharif. I have been out of the scene for a month and didn't even see this. Congrats! Can't wait to see what your car does when tuned

Did a mapquest check on Marietta, GA and you are about 375 miles from me in Vine Grove, KY, so you are to my knowledge, going to be the closest tuner that has experience both on the 350Z and the UTEC, so I will be making the trip to you in the future once you are set up in your new shop. Any word on the methanol / water injection system?

Thanks..looking forward to it. We'll be taking our first client project this weekend, so we are pretty much open for business as usual!

I'll be testing this new water/meth setup in the next 2 weeks. Stay tuned.

Just found this Sharif.

I'm extremely glad to see that you got the shop setup. I kept quiet about it the entire time.

I wish you luck with your business and your life.

The shop is about 95% complete! It's looking fabulous...painted and remodeled inside and out! The only thing missing is our signs, which will take about 2 more weeks to custom make.

The shop is officially open for business on Monday, and we've been maintaining our online parts distribution business the entire time.

Forged Performance, LLC
498 Cobb Parkway South
Marietta, GA 30060

The dyno is scheduled to arrive on July 15th.

Did the Fab 5 help you decorate?

My photographer and graphics designer did a photoshoot at the shop over the weekend. Here is a sneak peak. This shot was taken in the new 6000 sq/ft Forged Performance facility.
This is Jeremy's car from 350zfrenzy.
