Default Houston is APEX of unbelievable horsepower

So this is old and probably been posted..
But I was sitting at work looking and poking around and found this article about houston being the main place for horsepower, and where all these cool things are tested.. ON THE STREET... LOL

that is great.... But cool that they are mentioning houston like that..

But also in this article..... This is 1 bad *** FRC......
I was wondering if that was someones that is or was on here..


http://www.vetteweb.com/features/vem...frc/index.html

that is the article....

also like this part..

he was staring down the threat of a modified Suzuki GXP1000 sportbike when the Suzuki's owner decided to test the Vette's strength. The race began as quickly as it ended: In 3 seconds, the Corvette had pushed from 60 to 135 mph, Frank was five full car lengths ahead, and the top-rated Suzuki was retitled "Texas Toast," ungraciously buttered and burned to a crisp

A three second 60-135 would require an 1100+rwhp vette on a 28 inch tire reving to just shy of 7200 in third gear.

Just saying.. Franks car is bad *** though...

Zac speaks the truth. We are one with the 60-130 game!

Frank's car is pretty bad *** though. I remember going to the track with him in it.

Oh yeah and it has all the creature comforts too. Him and Chris E from MTI were sitting watching a movie on the screen in the heat of the car.
