Greetings!
Summer is here, folks. For us, it's coming up supercharged! We have not one, not two, but three supercharger projects coming in this next month. Who will win the battle of the HP? With kits from ESS, VF Engineering and Kleemann all coming directly to us, we're itching to find out as quickly as possible!
This past month can be defined pretty simply in four words: daily driver track cars. We've been quite consumed with our own big project of one, our Audi B7 A4. Major upgrades are happening right now and we're looking forward to putting them all to the test, come July 19th for Grassroots Motorsports Magazine's Ultimate Track Car Challenge. The event promises to be lots of fun and we are excited to not only be participants this year but also a sponsor.
Take some time to look through all the great new products GMP Performance has to offer you and your vehicle and don't forget to grab the special surprise we've left you all on the bottom of the newsletter! Our thanks to you for supporting us and our ever-growing company. See you next month!
