No videos, no drag times, what's up? I sure as hell have been enjoying the good weather and I'm still in stock twins. Also, weekly posts are no more. It just seems very odd. I plan to buy a kit, but what I value most is you all's personal accounts/results. Godspeed. |

1. A majority of the ST vehicles were not operating in a state that was considered acceptable, with the transmissions being the biggest problem. 2. The expectations from people looking for results were not aligned with the expectations for the ST participants. Seems that the participants were there to shake down their setup vs. race. Personally, if I didn't feel my car was running within the realm of "normal" I wouldn't be excited to race it. |

After all the relentless pre-run hype the lack of info & vids speaks volumes.

Doesn't Shift s3ctor do their own video taping of the event? I'd guess they would produce DVDs like most other similar events.

You say "lack of info", and yet we've been completely and 100% up front about the event. Like SIKH said, we're trying to push this platform and a lot of you are being very critical. No, we didn't have 100% success at the airstrip, as said numerous times, but how many of you have actually gone 150-160 mph in your car? And on the street, it has been nothing short of amazing. I'd also like to remind everyone that the singles are NOT the only ones having the 6AT issue.

As soon as my car is complete (only a few things to work out), I will post 1/4 mi times, 60-130 passes, and races against stock Z06, low 10s GTR, 700+whp Shelby GT500 and some other cars.
I can tell you at 22psi, the car would have destroyed my car with FBO+meth on stock turbos.

There is one 10 sec slip and its in the hands of the creator, no end user has even posted one 11 second 12 second or 18 second slip that i know of. Who did a sub 6.5 60-130 outside of shiv? Who has posted a sub 20 sec 60-130 outside of shiv? and the retarded in car videos are a gimmick to sell the product.. how about an in car video with another car next to the car .... none of the examples you posted speak "volumes" ; by any means at all...

Additionally other non ST N54 6AT's having 5th gear issues had no problems posting their movies & even dropping boost to stay on the track. Its always run what you brung, the good with the not so good. After all the pre race hype there is nothing much to show for it but excuses.

It's one thing to ask for something, it's another thing to demand or complain the lack of something that doesn't even need to be produced by the end user in the first place. Yeah it is helpful for the community, and would speak worlds, but people really need to calm down. If you're so anxious, just go buy the kit, stop the whining. No where does it state that any owner of a single turbo kit must oblige to every request found on the Internet.
