2017 Annual Maniac Performance GT4OC Dyno Day

Well crew, we had an incredible time hosting our first ever event alongside the NZ GT-Four Owners Club! Everyone was in fine form, and featured 15 cars on the dyno throughout the day with some egos being crushed and people being overjoyed and devastated all in the same day. 

Big thanks to Geoff at MCR Automotive for hosting us, thanks to Greg Martin and the NZ GT4 Brotherhood for helping with the day, Andre and Jacqui from New Lynn Cooper Tyres and Shane Martin from Smartgraphics for some sweet merch on the day, and Karney from Cultured Gent for making us coffees on the day!

Congrats to our winners of the Day - Neil Kerr with his super tidy Caldina GT-Four winning most powerful GT-FOUR, and to Glynn Hooper for taking out most powerful car overall on the day! (Micah Spear decided to leave early, sorry mate!)

We know you all want the results, so here they are below in alongside make and model, as well as a brief on the mods they all have for your discussion and enjoyment!
