Exclamation ****Texas Invitational Update****

Just want to say thanks to everyone that helped put on this event. It was the 3rd time running and it ran smooth as ever. I think there were over 60 cars pushing over the 1000rwhp barrier. This was definitely the biggest gathering of high hp street cars. Everything from the classic Camaro/Corvette/Mustang battles to the new exotic Lamborghini/GTR/Porshce/Vipers. Almost every platform you could think of was there.

I am just glad we got the chance to show the world what a Corvette/LSX platform can do. To be able to beat 1500hp plus AWD cars all weekend long was just an amazing accomplishment. The American Corvette once again is on Top of the Street car world.

I will try and post some videos as I can this week. I really need to catch back up at the shop since we have been working on getting the blue vette ready for this past event.

Actually, the closest race we had all weekend was against the Silver T1 GTR but it came in the 2nd round of competition. I think we put a couple more car lengths on the black GTR in the final.

Those GTRs were very impressive. Not taking anything away from the 6 UGR lambos that showed up, because they ran their asses off too. My hat is off to them for showing up and competing. A lot of people like to sit behind a computer and type how fast their car is. It was nice to actually see them out burning rubber like the rest of us.

Can you post a better video of both of those races?

From the video I saw online, it looks like the final race was won by feet, not car lengths!

Thanks!

By far the best comp was the GTR's this time around. They were out in full force - also the Okie boys in that blue viper were real tough also. The race with the T1 GTR was our closest comp by far. No one else was that close to us. Vids will be posted later on this week.

Congrats to all TI Staff and Sponsors for puttng on the baddest event in the WORLD. LMR TTVette (Tejano Blue) TI King of the Streets & Corvette Shootout Winner October 2012

Guys - I posted that vid to show everyone how fast that GTR was and how close he was to (TB) LMR TTVette. I'll go on the record and say that the T1 Matte Grey GTR was the 2nd fastest car at the event - his problem was Tejano Blue.

Wormboy, how fast of an ET and MPH has your Corvette done in the 1/4 mile?

How much power were you running to go 186 MPH at this event, thanks!

If I may add to "300"'s question, what speed does the race start from?

Wow. Sick vid Worm boy. That Vette is no joke. Man when 1500hp is just not enough. You put quite a few lengths on last events runner up. Did he let up toward the end or did you pull him that hard? Veni vidi veci congrats.

GTR 2nd fastest?

The silver Underground Racing 6 speed Gallardo average runs were faster than the GTR's fastest MPH it ever went. Lets not forget the Gallardo was on R888s when it went the 2nd fastest speed at 189 (correct timing) and most of the Silver Gallardo's passes were at 187. The silver Gallardo was eliminated when he missed 4th gear in KOTS. All the Gallardos were on street tires, R888's other than the silver 6 speed being on Hoosiers a few runs.
