| Greetings! |
Happy Saint Patrick's Day from GMP Performance! We are thrilled that winter is finally over, and are looking forward to a full season of automotive events and racing!
With day-to-day sales and several projects underway, we've had plenty to keep us inside and out of the the cold, and we are eager to share with you what will emerge from our shop at THAWOUT!!!
Members of our staff recently made the journey down to APR's facility in Opelika, Alabama, for the 2010 Distributor Conference. As always, APR has some exciting new products on the way, and we are proud offer them to you as a customer! Check out the details below! |

| THAWOUT 2010 |
THAWOUT is coming soon! Pre-registration for the show is $20, and will be open until April 21st, 2010. Those who pre-register will receive a raffle ticket, voter ballot, goodie bag with sponsor coupons, lunch ticket, and an event T-shirt (please state your shirt size at registration). You may also register on the day of the show for $10, but you will only receive the raffle ticket and voter ballot.
We are also asking longtime GMP clients to bring with them their oldest GMP catalog, and submit stories from years past. Many clients have come back to see us after many years, with great stories to tell about their cars. We are honored and would like to chronicle these stories. A commemorative T-shirt will be presented to each person that shares their GMP experiences with us at the event. Hope to see you there!!! |
| Projekt 35 and Race Rabbit Restoration |
Work continues on both of our track car builds. The latest updates and pictures of the S3 can be found here: Projekt 35 Build Thread on Audizine. And we are documenting the restoration of our 1975 VW Rabbit here: GMP Rabbit Restoration on VW Vortex. |
| APR Motorsport Success = Proven Upgrades for your Mk6 GTI and B8 S4!!! |
APR Motorsport has been working furiously on their new Mk6 GTI and B8 S4 racing programs, building on their experience in the Koni Challenge series with the hugely successful Mk5 GTIs. The side benefit for you, the enthusiast, is that many of APR's products for your street car are derived from the Motorsport cars, including their 2.0T ECUs, Anti-Sway Bars, and FSI Fuel Pumps.
APR Motorsport's next Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge event will be at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, on April 8-10th. If you are in that area, it's a great chance to check out the new #191 B8 S4 in action, driven by Ian Baas and Daniel Orr.
For those in the Charlotte area, we will be hosting a Motorsport Viewing Party for this race on Saturday April 17th at our facility just off I-77 exit 7. We will have a television set up to watch the event footage, plus drinks, refreshments, and free install labor on pre-2010 APR ECU upgrades (software prices still apply). We invite you to come and join us in support of APR Motorsport!!! |
| GMP Exclusive - Special March Pricing on APR 2.0T ECU Upgrades!!! |
 For the month of March, when you purchase a single APR software program for your Audi/VW 2.0T, 1.8T, or 2.7T, you have the option of a 2nd program for an additional $50 (normally $149), or the fully loaded ECU for an additional $150(normally $600). This is a special deal we were able to secure at the 2010 Distributor Conference, even though there is no official sale on APR software at this time. Email us for more info! |
