Want MOAR?! Taken from another forum:

Today we debuted our new Sequential Shifter for the Porsche brand at the Global Motor sports Group open house in Orange County . We have been working on the system for the past several months both on the road and at the track and you really don't know power until you put your foot into 670 Whp GMG is the exclusive source for all US sales . The system will be available for all 996 / 997 cars by March and we will be adding outer models to the line up as time permits. Now this all will benefit our Mini product in a big way as the increased profit margin for the Porsche brand will fund more R & D than was ever possible before . GMG has set the price for the system at $ 9400 for the bump stick basic version and the paddles will be a option. I have to admit it is a different world when during the demo the inevitable question about the cost comes up and several had the same reaction , " that's all " or " Really , I thought it would have been more ". In any event here are some of the amazing cars that this shop sells and maintains. In any event I hope you got the flavor if the event from my pics and hopefully I can get Nardo to post up some of his from a REAL camera from both today and the track tests as well.

This is our test bed . GMG WC Turbo Porsche. 670 whp on pump gas AWD rocket.





n for neutral




Anybody looking for a track toy? Its for sale !



And a bargain at that !!



This wall is all devoted to the race car prep.







They had several of their customer race cars which they maintain on display.













All business.



The customer street cars ,were as you would expect, beautiful .









We are actually working on a CAI for this one





If you see someone driving one of these and want to ruin their day just mention that PARIS drives one . Always good for a dirty look .







They call this one the " Widow Maker ". Monster HP GT- 2.





This is what I would call a SERIOUS auto -x car at least from the check book stand point.





And he is quite proud of his records.



Now this is how you go to the races in style .



Love the plate on this 430.



And this is some serious under body paneling.



Some shots of the show room.







It is a lousy shot but this was an amazing Carbon Fiber wheel by Dymag .



Not what you would see at America's Tire



In house dyno, but of course.



For you titanium fans .
