Well I guess I will have to start calling our R&D tech P.T Barnnum, the car is real and it's fast, I needed to move the TT CTSV off the rack for a customers car, the car runs great, it sounds really good, after driving this car I am now thinking on selling my STS F Body. As soon as we get dyno numbers you guys will be one of the first to see them.

PS. I and the tech director for STS, so if anyone would like to verify that this kit is real you are more than welcome to call or email me.

The kit looks very nice......but my $0.02.....wash the car before posting pics.

All I can think is that the Caddy had more mud on the fenderwells than my Jeep Rubicon Seriously, its a nice looking kit, but I did notice the mud on the bottom right away.

As for the single rear-mount kit that our other boy has been working diligently on, I like that one too. It's origonal.

Seriously dude, who gives a **** if the car has some dirt on the lower areas that no one can see unless they are under the car? You must be one of those guys who wouldn't nail a hot chick because you don't like her shoes.

I do enjoy watching these guys own that moron with the other build, he's a douche.

As you can see ground clearance is not compromised...





Our system is as high or higher than all the stock components.

The oil actually returns to the valve covers (one pump to each valve cover) which keeps it consealed under the factory engine cover. Simple, Clean, Effective.

Here are the oil return pumps which will come mounted to the custom brackets from STS as shown.



Here is one pump mounted on the car. 2 of the factory holes are utilized and a supplied template helps locate the 3rd hole to be drilled. Rubber bushings keep everything quite.

Nah, I just call it like I see it. Speaking of which, did you bust off that 8 second pass for <$30K yet?

Ok......

For Turbo 6.0, the ground clearance on that kit is incredible. The FMIC placement is clean too. That's by far the best designed STS kit I've seen to date.

The V community has been waiting years for this. As long as the numbers work in the end, you should sell a good number of these kits. Especially as these car's values keep dropping and become more affordable.

Kit can be installed in a day by someone with some experience with STS systems. Otherwise it would be a weekend project but nothing to serious.
