GR9 GReddy R35 GTR visits the 1/4mile

In between building our new 2011 tC for this year's SEMA Show, the GPP staff found a little time to also bring out our GReddy R35 to the Drag Strip for some testing.  And we are happy to report it did very well for it's 1st trip out; easily making it into our GR9 club.  We now look forward to taking the build to the next level!  Look for more big news very soon.



Until then, here is a little video we pulled together with our GoPro and SLR Cameras.  Enjoy!

Our Trip to 2010 SEMA Show

We'll as we write this entry the last day of the 2010 SEMA Show is finishing up.  And we are happy our new 2011 GReddy Turbo tC was displayed in the Scion booth.
The build was definitely one of our quickest in past years, but it worked out well.  The hard work of our GReddy R&D staff, put together a great street style vehicle in just 25days. (But the work isn't done, big plans coming for this 2011 tC...stay tuned!)

We also couldn't have made the tight deadline without the help of Scion Racing, TRD, Five:AD, Toyo Tires, Rays Engineering, Sparco, Mother's, and S&A Designs!  Thank you guys!

In addition to our car, here are some of our personal stand-out favorites from the 2010 SEMA Show... (we are sure our friendly media sources will have complete coverage soon, but until then here are a few of our pictures...)
The newly re-bodied Seibon/GReddy 370Z-TT, the Hybrid 0-60 GS racer, the Honda Design CR-Z, a new LF-A, Toyota's Swagger Wagon Supreme and the Wrativo "hell-flush" R35.




And the new product we would love to try out is the GoPro 3D Camera setup!
We even had some time for a little afterhours fun this trip, at Club XS
