Ford GT by GeigerCars
http://www.worldcarfans.com/9071012.012/ford-gt-by-geigercars
The total number of tuning companies applying their trade to the exclusive Ford GT super car can be counted on one hand. Add Geiger Performance to that list and you're still on the same hand.
More than just a few parts upgrades, Geiger Performance has developed a full program of engine upgrades targeted to the 4000 Ford GT's in existence. They include a larger supercharger from 2.3 liters to 3.3 liters with increased boost pressure from 0.8 to 1.25 bar, recalibrated electronic engine management, enlarged throttle valves, sport air filter, optimized engine and trans cooling systems and a sport exhaust.
As a result, gains are made in horsepower from 650bhp to 701bhp (523kW) and torque of 600 to 617 ft-lbs (837 Nm). 0-62 mph (100 km/h) arrive in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 211mph (340 km/h).
For optimum handling, the GT gets a specially designed adjustable suspension which lowers the body up to 60mm. Brakes are upgraded to Geiger Performance monobloc calipers as well as their set of black wheels with stainless steel inlays.
Visually not much has changed except for the removed rear bumper reinforcement bar which creates a much cleaner look.
Hummer H3 GT Alpha by Geigercars

The Hummer H3 is still the baby Hummer, shorter, less powerful but also lighter than its bigger brothers the H1 and H2. German Hummer experts Geigercars have successfully tuned up the H2 to be the fastest Hummer on the planet with a whopping 700 hp and a 0 – 100 km/h time of 6.5 seconds.
Time for the H3 to receive a similar treatment. The 2.3 tonne SUV has had its 5.3 liter V8 Vortec engine remapped through the Geiger Tuning Kit to produce 300 hp (instead of the factory 242 hp). The Tuning Kit consists of new engine software, a sport air filter and stainless steel performace exhaust system, resulting in a top speed of 124 mph. The sport suspension lowers the H3, improving its road going behaviour while not impeding its off-road abilities too much. A performance brake system ensures that there is enough stopping power available to keep driving this little monster safe.
The exterior has received it own fair share of upgrades with a very distinctive GT design. The racing stripes are available in any color and the body kit in the car's chosen color. There is a choice of 23 (305/35-23) or 24 (305/35-24) inch alloy wheels.
Inside you will find leather seats, plenty of carbondesign applications and full blown multimedia system with personal DVD players in every headrest. Interestingly enough Geigercars also has a natural gas kit available for the gas guzzler, lowering carbon dioxide emissions by 20% while the 75 liter gas tank can be refilled for just EURO 40, without sacrificing its performance increase!
