Doubt it. I have never seen a negative review or bad experience with Matt / FSP. I have dealt with him for a couple of years now and I've had nothing but great experiences. In fact, he's provided some of the best customer support for anything I've ever bought. You also have to remember that you started off with a truly terrible kit (STS) and then took it to RX (tons of people have reported negative experiences) and then to FSP. I'm sure that kit/car was a mangled mess. That's how mine ended up.

Can't_C_Me · 09-22-2014, 02:37 PM

Yeah Matt and his team travel across the country tuning and building people's cars. Only reason my car and many others that RX has touch cars are still running is because of the work FSP does. Bet tracy aint tell you that he hired Matt (that already worked for a big performance company up north) to move to Florida to help Tracy's company raise from the grave. But when he ended up oweing Matt so much pay Matt left and started FSP. And RX was on the raise again when Matt took over management. But look at it now after he left. The man has filed for bankruptcy multiple times in the last few years because his work isn't good. I wish I had known this before I paid all that money for a turbo kit that I rebuild myself lol.

biting my tongue here, no way Matt would do that, he will go out of his way to help someone, even if costs him money. You were dealt a crappy kit from the start, those STS kits are pure junk and take a complete rebuild / reconfigure to get it to work half assed. Then you have someone work on it and not "fix" anything. Then Matt gets it, tells you what you need and what he can do for your budget, you decide to repair some things yourself, which is good. I work on my own car, as do most here that modify extensively. But I also research what goes on my car and it has to perform properly both mechanically and aesthetically to go on my car . if it looks like crap and works like crap, its probably crap. You would have a completely different view if the parts you decided on were researched properly first. Its a tough lesson, I've made my share of bad decisions too. But learn from this and do your due diligence to find out what you are putting on your car and who is doing it.

Matt has come to Houston to tune a lot of cars and his spots usually fill up extremely fast because of how good he is at what he does. Jrod's car, one of the fastest m6 cars in the country is tuned by Matt and that car flat out flies

Listen from here on out im not going to blame matt or tracy. The oil pump failed and this issue could have been solved if someone understood what I was telling them, but they didn't. From here on out im not pointing fingers. Because when it comes down to it, whether he said she said. No one is taking responsibility to what happen to my car. So I guess this is all my fault. F**k me right?

GTR young Jedi

Honestly I just read this entire thread, and like clockwork Tracy did the same old bs he always did.

Glad you pulled the car sooner than later

I've given up on the boosted 6 idea. I swear for the money you could swap a V8 in there easier.

I'm sayin I love the Camaro's and in really thinking about the zl1 but the gtr is a gtr... Lol

JantzenOKC · 09-22-2014, 08:02 PM

You said which car you end up getting depends on how much you get for your Camaro. Since money is obviously a factor, I'd say get the ZL1. Unless your a nissan mechanic or can do your own work. Because I wouldn't think wear items like brakes and clutches are covered under warranty. And sounds like you could almost buy a 1LS Camaro for the price of a GTR clutch job lol. I wonder how long those clutches typically last.

That reminds me of Tommy Boy

peter, sorry your recent experiences didn't go well, hopefully your future fast production cars treat you right.

GbrilliantQ · 09-22-2014, 10:33 PM

Tracy blamed all of the things wrong with my car on the shop I sent it to. That there were no issues when they dropped it off and that he was not liable for any repairs. Same old crap

i have alot of buddies with GTRs and none of them had any major issues, and those who afforded them could afford the services

And I love my camaro but it is far from my speed fix, I have a ducati 1098 for that.
