| Greetings! |  THAWOUT is almost here! The weather in North Carolina has been fantastic, and several projects for the event are nearing completion. We really hope you can make it out on May 1st to help us celebrate our 35 Year Anniversary!
Another reminder for you Charlotte area locals, we are hosting an APR Motorsport Race Viewing Party on April 17th at 3PM. In addition to the footage from the April 10th Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Race, we will have pizza, drinks, and a Skype webcam session with the APR drivers! Click for directions to GMP Performance
There's also a new addition to the GMP stable, a brand new Volkswagen Mk6 GTI! Straight off the delivery truck, it is currently receiving the full GMP treatment to increase power output, improve handling on the street/track, and turn heads wherever it goes! |

| 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. |
| Mk6 GTI Build - APR Stage III, ADV.1 Forged 3pc Wheels, and More! |
 While paying tribute to our company roots with the Rabbit Restoration, we must also move forward with the future as well! Our latest project is a brand new Mk6 GTI, which we will build upon with products from our premier suppliers. In the engine room, APR has provided their Stage III Turbo Kit to vastly improve straight-line performance. Helping to transfer this newfound power to the ground will be 3-piece forged wheels from ADV.1, featuring a unique concave profile (stock wheels shown at left). |
