FI Installations at Z Car Garage . . .
I agree, Rob does good work but communication is lacking. I think that he might need to get a receptionist or something. I have emailed and called him several times with no response. Im trying to give him more business.

What's the story with the build?
Shoot me a PM!!!
yea yea.. we can all understand that if you pay for something to be done, u want it done.. but knowing ROB.. he wants your car to last with no headaches... why would he boost the crap out of your car to gain the most WHP and then u end up with a bunch of blown shnit.. and it all comes back on him... if u ask him urself.. he wants to be known for the most reliable F.I. cars not the most HP... take it to GTM and gain big power but that requires big BUCKS and more headaches... and with most F.I. systems.. you'll be lucky to get over 35k or plus mile out of it.... ROBs... da Shnit! and all u haters can suck it...

And yes, numbers matter to me. I like bragging rights. I like KNOWING I hit the power levels I desired. I won't be happy or satisfied until I join the 400whp club.
You know I told Rob specifically I wanted over 400rwhp. You know what his reply was?
"It's not the numbers, it's the feeling you get."
That right there is OUTRIGHT, BLATANT disregard for customer satisfaction and what I as a customer WANTS TO HAVE DONE. I don't give a crap about the whole "feeling" thing. I know the car feels fast. That's not the issue.
I want solid numbers that shows I am over 400rwhp.

I don't know why you're taking this so personally. I've had an experience with Z Car Garage; I didn't like it, and I'm telling what I THINK to the OP. However he takes it is up to him. I didn't like Rob or his services very much; don't try and force me to like what he did. I'm not happy. Don't try to convince me otherwise.

+1 Would you like to explain that to me also. I mean facts and not talk. Haven't heard of one complaint, not to mention that shop gives 12 month warranties on all work. And not to mention the 4.2L builds he does, including one of the Super Moderators on here that had his done. So please explain with facts of that statement, as I have not heard one bad thing about that shop. i.e. Names, Dates, Actual Cars, etc. Thank You.

+1 warren.
i for one know that GTM goes above and beyond with their builds. also, sam and his crew will not let your car leave their shop unless the it is bulletproof. if you read any of alex's (nitrouz) 4.24L threads, you'll know that sam and his guys will not mess around when it comes to that much power.
i have dealt with both ZCG and GTM. GTM in my opinion is on another level from ZCG. both have their pros and cons. i've experienced more cons from ZCG. i'm not going into it, but please back up your claims instead of just bashing.
ZCG and GTM are both great shops. there's love / hate in every industry & not every customer will be pleased and that's a fact of life.
Yep and I was NOT HAPPY with ZCG. Do I hate Rob for it? Of course not. I think Rob is a great guy in person. I just will not be returning to him for my business anymore.
It's a free market out there. Customers have the right to choose who they go to. By calling me an *** because I don't like ZCG or Rob's attitude towards my work?
Ugggh . . . . . . yeah . . . . .

What is with this crowd?
When you get the "numbers" you desire please at least drive the thing on the track, get some timeslips, etc.
Z's are meant to be driven! Leave the pissing contests to the Chevy/Ford guys

Oh, and BTW "alving", my car has been to both kinds of tracks, so don't waste your keystrokes lashing at me. I can't believe "MyZFiona" said "su*k it". This is going to be a good day. I love Zs.
Just and F.Y.I.,
I've heard nothing but positive comments on GT Motorsports on the L.A. region forum. Rated top notch shop. No negative comments so far. Known to have superior customer and quality service.
Spend the extra money and send the car down to L.A. to get the install done.
