VTT GC equipped S55 runs 9.62@149...
VTT S55 GC domination continues. Another stock motor S55 GC car in the 9's (That's SIX), and a built motor car sets a new GC record. 9.62@149... Still waiting for another turbo manufacturer to even get one stock motor S55 in the 9's... Tick Tock... Of course Cary Jordan on the tune. Nice work Jeners Nieves and all the Bimmer PR team! Setting the bar high! #VTT #VTTFAMILY #VTTDOMINATION #GAMECHANGERS

Notable achievement!
But is "tick tock" in reference to how long the turbo will last before it fails, or the fact that other manufacturers don't have anything to prove by being more concerned with reliability and longevity over that of setting records?

Exactly. No one is thinking a 9.62 is on 87 octane and stock boost. Car is properly prepped, clearly great attention to detail, and yep, some holy water in the cooling system. That's how records are broken! Chris |

As far as having something to prove, all turbo manufacturers have promoted their achievements of higher power and lower times: Vbox, Dragy, drag strip, or dyno. That is the point of obtaining and/or posting a time slip or dyno chart - it’s the proof used for the countless manufacturers or customers trying to prove something. So why the hate? When all of the fastest stock motor cars were running hybrids, that manufacturer openly promoted it and good for them - they earned the right to promote it. Now it’s VTT’s turn. |

Touting your achievements is one thing, but belittling and attempting to throw shade at other vendors as a marketing strategy in order to promote and sell your products is another entirely: Quote:

Never yet have I witnessed any other vendor go to such heights (or stoop to such lows) in order to advance their products. Chris does an admirable job by defusing situations and providing solutions in many cases, however it also appears that Tony's perchance for crassness and distasteful marketing tactics persist. I'm sure as a company VTT is no doubt quite successful, but with an image refresh and competent PR they could likely be even more so. Just my 2¢ for all it's worth.

I've absolutely seen Dodge, BMW, Audi, even Tesla engage in competitive tactics, and this is purely due to the nature of the industry. However, this is a forum of enthusiasts; sure there are various vendors on here that sell many of the same parts, but the difference is that they all exist to support and promote a particular niche of the car community. When is the last time you witnessed Pure belittle your turbos? Kratos out and out goad you for not having a vehicle that's achieved the 1k whp mark? Has SSR or Maximum PSI ever harassed you over the design or your Spline Lock hub fix? What about the multitude of other sponsored vendors on this forum who sell any number of similar products, do they participate in the practice of throwing each other under the bus in an attempt to increase their market share? The only vendor I see doing such is VTT, and as I've witnessed on other forums it appears to be Tony's MO. By all means promote your company; let your success and products speak for themselves and you'll garner a true and loyal following. But if you find the need to discredit other companies in order to sell your wares, don't be surprised when your companies quality and character are brought into question. You catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar.

As have I. Since the dawn of time if two men were in a room, even more so in a competitive fashion, shit talking commenced. It’s what we do. No amount of “please be nicer” or virtue signaling will eradicate it. I do condone companies poking at each other as it forces the competition of free market. It’s one thing I’d they are out of line, but “tick tock” bothers you? Bet you’re the life of the party.

Again though, perhaps I'm projecting a character trait that I wish was more common in this day and age, so in that context I suppose it could be considered "virtue signaling" which wasn't my intention. I'm all for the occasional ribbing and shit talking, don't get me wrong, and it's not just about the "tick rock" commentary. When you witness someone (or in this case a company) constantly having to build up their image by claiming to one up someone else when no one has directly presented them with a challenge, one begins to question their integrity and self confidence. If you have to tell people how bad-ass you are in order to believe it yourself, how bad-ass are you really?

Create your own thread if you want to complain. One of our boys got into the nines for the first time, and another made fastest time on a certain platform. Both are solid accomplishments. Let's get the thread back on track.
