August 2015 Newsletter


Calling the employees of GMP Performance "huge car people" seems like a massive understatement. We work with them, obsess over our own, read as much as we can on them, look at pictures of them all over the internet, talk about which ones we like, and on and on. With this much car love in our heads and hearts, its not hard to understand why this time of year is our favorites: new models. New models everywhere. And with new models comes new parts to offer our awesome friends. So GMP will make sure to stay on top of the newest developments and update our site regularly.

Another interesting addition to our shop at this time is our new wheel specialist, Corey Yandle. Corey is originally from Columbia, SC and spent the last four years working in the wheel business for one of the largest online retailers. He has a wealth of fitment knowledge with European as well as import and domestic cars, trucks, SUVs and exotics and understands the uniqueness of custom wheel sales. One of Corey's coolest skills however, includes wheel renderings. Be sure to check our Instagram and Facebook for some of his recent renderings he's done for fun or message us to get your own done today!

Dinan F8X M3/M4 Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake

The intake makes the under hood appearance of the newest Ms a work of art that could be the focal point of any car show or enthusiasts collection.

Evolution Motorsports Porsche GT3 Upgrades
The new 991 GT3 is an amazing super car of its own right; however, it is lacking that rumble we have grown to expect from a Porsche super car. This is where EVOMS set out to create an exhaust system to change all of that. They chose to retain the use of an exhaust bypass valve controlled system and incorporated 70mm Pierburg bypass valves. When a more aggressive sport exhaust sound is desired, pressing the sport exhaust button on the center console opens the larger 70mm exhaust valves and allows the engine to "sing" with melodic exhaust notes one would expect to hear from a 9,000 RPM flat-6 Porsche GT3. Increased power, intoxicating sound, and substantial weight savings equals the perfect combination for ultimate performance without compromise.

MK7 Golf/GTI/R APR DQ250 DSG and S Tronic TCU Upgrade

The Audis aren't alone in receiving some transmission boosts from the experts at APR. APR's calibration experts found the factory drive and sport modes to be less than ideal when raising power above the factory limits. In drive mode, the transmission aggressively seeks sixth gear, earlier than necessary, leaving behind an anemic and lack luster experience for the driver. Likewise sport mode leaves a lot to be desired considering its seemingly exciting name. Under both modes, maximum shift points remain optimized for the factory power levels, which vary greatly to those produced using APR's world-renowned catalog of performance hardware and software.
