I guarantee when you walk in that shop YOU WILL NOT PAY what you saw on their website. There are just too many variables.

So whats so custom? a turbo kit, return system, built motor, ecu, and tuning....wow you cant post how much that would cost, I got to email you for a quote. I mean you could put 3 different builds of block's for a price, a certain turbo kit for this price, different fuel return systems for a certain price, and what kind of ecu, HKS vpro, greddy ult, unichip, or a reflash for a certain price, then charge for labor, and say about how many hours it will take....simple ![EEK!](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)

Not only do you guys come off a a$$holes, but full of BS too.
You've been owned here and on G35Driver.com.
Now go do what you say you do and let the cars speak for themselves.
(BTW, I can think of a couple of members that have tracked their cars with vipers and z06's, a$$hole!)

Hey guy. You can believe whatever you want to believe and I'm sorry you feel the way you do. Bottom line is we have BS'd about anything. Infact our cars do ALLOT more than they say they can in terms of HP but WHO CARES! Who cares about an 8 second dyno run. We're not dyno queens. To the guys that talk $hit about cars having 600+ Hp , take it out on the track and run it for 45 minutes straight ON THOSE DYNO SETTINGS you used to get those numbers .... and good luck. We have 600+ HP cars. Who cares. It means nothing. It's a number (which BTW is very easy to pad!) So Chicago, maybe you like different kinds of cars than the ones we're building but that does not give you the right to talk $hit about ours. They have already been track proven and are driven on a daily basis.
Can i see your Dyno numbers and your track time sheets?
That's what I tought.

We dyno on 3 different type's. When tuning we disconeect the Det sensor and use a load bearing dyno putting a load on and holdingat full throttle at different rpm's and tune until there is no more Det. Then re-connect the sensor. This way we are sure when we send out product, your car will not pull out timing because it's running lean or for any othe reason for that matter.
The other dyno you see here is just simply to get base line numbers.
Hope this helps.

Hey Mike, I think everyone understands that some people build cars for the street, other for the drag strip, and others for the road course. 600whp is total overkill for a road course, and your times would likely be higher than a properly dialed-in car running 450whp.
That said, there are still lots of members that want to drive a monster 600whp car on the streets or the drag strip. From a roll, its very easy to scream away with a 600whp car. And with the proper drag setup, 10's are acheivable.
I just wanted to point out that you might build your cars for the road course, but not every customer wants that.
BTW, you can't "pad" a time slip....the trap speed tells the story of WHP.

I'm in the process of shopping around for a shop competent enough to build my $20,000 FI solution. VRT is not that shop. The whole “my d!ck is bigger than yours” attitude may fly for your penile-challenged customers, but I want a competent, reliable shop with a better attitude than: “F-you, we rule.”
Now you use a load-based dyno? Several posts above it was a Dynojet. Get your story straight.

600 is just a waste of power. I mean if you can put that dfown, your doing BIG things and hats off brotha! It's not easy to hit that. But other than drag??? You know what I mean. That would be dangerous on the streets and useless on the tracks.
But I hear what your saying!

But its soooo much from a roll...to see the look on that Z06, Viper, 911 Turbo..etc....when you PULL HARD away from him at a 40mph roll. The look is priceless.
You would be surprised at how well the car pulls in a straight line. It is extrememly stable and grippy. It's all about a proper setup, and a complete package. Wheels, tires, suspension, aftermarket LSD, axles...etc.
![Big Grin](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
NO question, the car is hard to launch for a stand-still...but experienced drag racing guys are hitting 1.6 60ft times with DR's. I suck at drag racing, and dont pretend to be good at it.

We use 3 different kinds and I have said that several times. Good luck with your build. It appears you are simply "throwing blows" for no apparant reason so I am done arguing with you. Do not expect a reply to any future posts.
Also, and i'm being serious. Good luck with your build man. I hope you find what you are looking for. As we have said in the past, we are straight up Nissan enthusiasts and LOVE the see 600+HP Z's buring down everyone else at the drag strips.
Also, yes we are confident! Do you want a guy looking at your car and your $20,000 check saying hmmm, I'm pretty sure I can do this? Or do you want a guy pointing at a stable of cars already done saying "we've got a small waiting list but your gonna LOVE your car when it's done". We're confident because we know what we are doing and we have proven it. Not cocky, confident.

According to my research, you've built what, five cars? Well, maybe four, as the first was done by Tim at Speedforceracing.
Good luck with your continuing "marketing" campaign.

Please, for the love of god, stop! You had some valid things to say and now this brash comment. You guys are road racers and I can respect that. Let your work do the talking. Don't let your lips (or fingers in this case) do it. Best of luck to you. I look forward to seeing some of the cars you guys build.
