Vitek
Performance Products was started in 1996 by two car crazed
guys intent on developing only state of art premium quality
performance products.
We started out focusing on the rapidly
growing Import sector of the automotive aftermarket. We found
this new generation of Hot Rod enthusiasts to be not only
a lot of fun to hang out with, but also extremely knowledgeable
about tuning. The young car builders had changed the rules
for traditional Hot Rod building.
First , looks are extremely
important to the import enthusiast but performance is most
important. Second, I can remember standing there with my
timing light for hours trying to tune my GTO, but these guys
roll up next to you at a stop light with a laptop tuning the
car while they are rolling. They don't want just any products
on their cars they want the highest quality and the best look.
So the owners of Vitek went out and started doing extensive
market research to find out what exactly that market wanted
for their cars. Because one of the partners had been with
NGK for several years and had quite a lot of knowledge in ignition,
they developed an ignition wire built only with the highest-grade components
available. There are no corners cut.
The Vitek guys started attending car
shows around the country and imbedded themselves into that
niche market. At the same time, because we were located in
the NASCAR Belt ( Atlanta ), we were approached by engine
builders interested in a new technology, which is a heat activated
low-resistance wire that would effectively block RFI's. This
is really important for Racing Teams running high energy ignitions
with high engine compartment temperatures. The wires were tested
at Daytona and were found to shave 1/100 th of a second per lap. Vitek
then started working with Richard Petty Racing and supplied
all RPR Driving school cars. They ran them for couple of years
under severe torturous conditions.
During this testing, Vitek
became much more involved with the import scene, the Low
Rider scene and the benchmark Hot Rod scene. Then in 1999,
after becoming successful with ignition wire products, we
decided it was time to start looking at other products for
development. We came out with performance clutches available
in six stages, Cro-Moly half- shafts for the high horsepower
front wheel drive cars, and Limited Slip differentials.
In
2002, we started cutting Diamond Plated floor mats and other
decorative accessories. Our newest product is racing seats.
We only wanted to offer a real high-end leather seat because
our name has become synonymous premium products. These seats
are right up there. Our theory has always been, "Give 'em
What They Want". We know, because we are enthusiasts ourselves. We wouldn't
produce any product that we wouldn't buy for our own cars and trucks.
Vitek's foundation has been built on the premise that nobody is more
important than the customer. The customer must be happy and this is the
cornerstone of our successful, growing company. We hope that you will
enjoy your Vitek products and this fantastic new site. Please let us
know what we can do to help you in your pursuit or performance.
