Default Most Powerful City In the Nation

Hey everybody!! Just wanted to let you guys/girls know that the drivers of Houstons most awesome and insane cars are on a quest to become known as members of the fastest city in the world

Here's how the list breaks down:

Supra: 8,889 hp/rwhp
Corvette: 4833hp/rwhp
F-body: 3909hp/rwhp
Mustang: 3596hp/rwhp
Modified: 2515hp/rwhp
Porsche: 2300hp/rwhp
Viper: 2300hp/rwhp



These add up to a total of 28,902 RWHP

Any of you guys here need to get over to www.houstonperformancedriving.com if you have the minimum 500rwhp entry fee, or are just interested in keeping tabs on how these cars stack up. The list continues to grow daily and will surely surpass 30,000rwhp before to long.

If you're interested in participating(Houston and surrounding area citizens) either PM me here or join up on Houston Performance Driving and reach me under the name "rookie89". I'm looking forward to seeing the LSx-powered dominate the event and take home the big W. Make it happen!!!

hmmm, dyno numbers don't tell you how "fast" these cars are. I'd rather have a long list of low ETs at the track to back up the dyno racing.

thing about dyno's is you can win and be drinking a coke right there unless the engine blows and puts a hole in your cup. I think Tony is right. ET should be there.. What are the ET's on these High Powered Supra's????

Where do you find a dyno that measures up that high? almost 9khp? That has got to be somewhere near a dragster right? Tell me, I don't know.
