havocwreaker-GTM's website is www.GTMotorsports.com but it is still in development. Your best bet is to go over to my350z.com. Sam and George post over there a lot more often than here on Driver.
Thanks,
Sorry to hear about VRT I contacted them and for 1 month they would call me once a week to get me to come in.
Hopefully this money situation I am in mends by next year with the ongoing projects I have and I can get something done with GTM.

If you are on the West Coast, GTM is the way to go. If you are on the East Coast Forged Performance is the way to go. 
Beware of these Internet Super Stores ( people who come on here with there friends and try to elevate their shop to the level of GTM & FP) 
I call it the shop of the month syndrome . Remember...Track record and References ( and I dont mean References for a $500 bolt-on, I mean someone that has spent BIG CASH...15K plus)are the only way to cut through the hype and smoke. I hate to see people getting taken advantage of.

Before I picked FP, I PM'ed a few members that dropped some heavy cash at PF, and all in all....they were happy. So yes I agree Chose FP because Sharif knowledge of the 'G' impressed me.

But it looks like the truth is finally coming out and coming back to bite them in the a$$! I just feel bad for people that got sh1tty work done on their cars or got screwed out of money.

After reading this post, I went back to the SGP post, and if you look carefully..you will see the same pattern....A person that makes a name for himself online leaves that shop and the mud slinging starts and a business gets injured
The person that leaves...opens another shop and all of a sudden that shop is the best 
I use track record of a business and even speaking to previous customers before I spend my cash. Like I said...I am not defending SGP or VRT. I live in TX and my car is being built in GA!

. I know it took a lot for you to spill the beans, but it looks like you are the hero in this one 
You have save the lining of many unsuspecting wallets. Other shops that thinks its kool to do what is alleged, will now think twice.
Not many people know that Jeremy (Performance Factory) started out with a G35 sedan which eventually led him into the VQ addiction/craze he has today...
+1 for Jeremy, A.J, and Ryan at Performance Factory. They do good work and will take care of you.

Scott and Mark are an awesome, dedicated team for you West Coast folks. I've had 1st hand experience with "issues" and Scott stuck with me till the end. You will not find better customer service - anywhere, GTM included - cause it can't get any better!
