GMG RACING – Porsche 992 GT3 Development!

GMG Racing has been a leader in Porsche aftermarket tuning and upgrades, in North America for the past 20 years. We continue to push the envelope with industry leading performance products for the best brand in the sports car market. With all of the success we’ve had with previous generations of GT3 and GT3 RS, we are bringing our winning formula to the new 992 GT3/GT3 RS platform!

 

 

Our team has been diving in head first with research and development of this new platform to improve on the exhaust, suspension, safety, chassis, and bodywork upgrades. GMG is very familiar with the GT3, as we have been a leader in performance and track upgrades, such as our WEC Roll bar, for this enthusiast car for years. We can’t wait to see what our team uncovers with this new GT3!

 

With a combination of our signature design formula and 3D scanning, we’ve developed exhaust systems for the 992 GT3 that we are extremely proud of! These exhausts are a direct replacement to the factory exhaust, no modifications required. We now offer our GMG GT3 WC-Sport Valved Exhaust System which is a direct replacement for the OEM center muffler. This system weighs in at only 16lbs and saves 20lbs off of the factory muffler.

Our second product is the GMG WC-Evo Race Exhaust System which is a full valved system that includes Equal Length Long Tube Headers! This setup weighs in at 46lbs, shaving 24lbs off of the OEM setup.


We did a dyno test to see how much of a difference our new 992 GT3 WC-Evo Race Exhaust System would make in sound and performance! We experienced a some nice gains throughout the whole rpm range, specifically from 4300-4600rpm!


GMG’s WC Rear Control Arm Set is CNC-machined from aerospace grade 6061 aluminum and hard anodized for corrosion resistance. The WC Rear Control Arms feature spherical bushings to increase the rigidity of the rear suspension mounts, which improves the rear stability and responsiveness of the car during hard breaking, sudden acceleration and cornering under higher g-loads.

We took the GMG 992 GT3 to the Thermal Track to test out our latest track setup with much anticipation! The latest upgrades included: the GMG WC Rear Control Arm Set, 992 GT3 WC-Evo Race Exhaust System, AP Racing Brake Kit, and Forgeline 19” GE1 wheels with Pirelli Slicks. The car was also setup with our signature GMG Competition Alignment which we were really excited to try as a proper alignment makes a huge difference in performance. Our GMG WC Rear Control Arm upgrade gives the car greater stability and a stiffer platform, allowing hard acceleration out of corners. This translates into earlier throttle application and strong runs down the next straight. Combine that with the immense grip from the Pirelli slicks and the car can carry speed at a noticeably higher rate through turns vs a stock configuration. Our WC-Evo Race Exhaust System gives us the much needed low-end torque and hp to launch out of corners!

We will continue to test and tune on this setup while we head into the summer heat but we have to admit, we can’t wait until we get a chance to test this config in 20-30 degree cooler temps as the lap times will be even quicker!

 

We’re continuing to build and improve our 992 GT3 product line with the introduction of our WC Muffler Center Section! This newest addition is compatible with both our WC-Sport Exhaust System and the full WC-Evo Exhaust System. This center section is meant to give you a more streetable exhaust with valves closed, while still retaining the signature GMG sound you love with the valves open!

 

991.2 GT3 RS Track Package and Lizard Green Love!

One of our long time customers recently came back to the Porsche side after spending some time in Mclarens! He brought in his 991.2 GT3 RS to get the GMG track ready treatment and add a little flare!

We installed our signature track setup including our GMG WEC Rollbar in Lizard Green, GMG Billet Harness Retainers, GMG Sub-Strap Mounting Plates, Schroth Racing Harnesses, and GMG Carbon Fiber Window Air Diffusers. We also aligned this beauty with our GMG Competition Setup. To really make it sing, we installed our GMG WC Center Section Exhaust and GMG WC-Evo Long Tube Headers

We also flared up the looks a little by repainting the calipers and adding GMG, GT3 RS, and Porsche vinyl logos in Lizard Green. If you like this, then just wait until you see his next track build! For now though, time to hit the track!!

Lizard Green Porsche 991.2 GT3 RS gets Track Prepped and Carbon Fiber

A client of ours shipped us his Lizard Green 991.2 GT3 RS for some GMG love! He wanted to get this beauty track ready, but also add some flare to it. As if Lizard Green isn’t a loud enough color, we made it scream even louder!

On the exterior we added the 1016 Carbon Fiber Hood Vents, Fender Louvers, Side Vents, Rear Wind End Plates, and Techart Carbon Fiber Rear Deck Lid. Also installed are our GMG Window Air Diffusers, Rennline front tow hook, and clear front side markers.

To make this car safer when tracking, we installed the paint-matched Lizard Green GMG WEC Rollbar, GMG Substrap Mounts, GMG Billet Harness Retainers, and Schroth racing harnesses.

This beast also received our GMG Titanium Center Section Exhaust, GMG WC-Evo Long Tube Headers, and our signature”GMG Competition Setup,” which includes a 15mm drop in factory suspension and proper alignment, to make sure this RS is perfect!

This mean green machine is now ready to terrorize the track and the street!

Not only are we still keeping busy in our main Orange County headquarters, but we are also supporting our customers at The Thermal Club from our remote HQ. We are taking necessary steps to ensure the safety of staff and customers not only back in OC but also on the track. We will continue to offer our world-class support through these unsure times.

So for now, be safe but have some fun behind the wheel of your ride. It’s the best kind of social distancing we can think of! What better than a helmet on your head to keep you safe!

Just wash your hands!

Lava Orange GT-Twins

What’s better than a Lava Orange track toy? TWO Lava Orange track toys! One of our recent customers loves this color so much that he needed match his 991.1 GT3 RS with a GT2 RS. To keep them matching, he decided to upgrade them both at the same time.

Both cars sit on Satin Black BBS FI-R wheels, wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo R tires, and are now equipped with GMG Carbon Fiber Dive Planes & GMG Window Air Diffusers.

We setup both of these cars with our signature track package! To keep him safe, we installed our GMG WEC Rollbars in Satin black, GMG Billet Harness Retainers, GMG Sub-Strap Mounting Plates, and Schroth Racing Harnesses.

Obviously we had to bump up the sound on this duo, so the GT3 RS received our GMG Titanium Center Section Exhaust & GMG WC-Evo Long Tube Headers. On the GT2 RS, we installed the GMG WC-GT Sport Exhaust.

Not only does this duo look and sound incredible, but they’ll be properly used regularly on the track! We had the honor of delivering these two incredible machines to him at The Thermal Club, and he was beyond excited!
