they never ran that power level on the street homo

I've seen a couple videos in the past of the tx street racing and whatnot but never really thought it was that common... always though it really only happened in the movies...
after reading through this whole thread, my original plan of a 4-500hp dd is out the goddamn window! You bastards! lol

Holy **** i need to get out of VA... and apparently i need WAY more horsepower hahaha

If you're thinking of running with those big dogs, start around 800 and figure double to really be competitive. Oh, and nitrous generally just won't do it... N/A has NO SHOT AT ALL, but you're gonna want turbo/s to really get that job done. Turbochargers are all about top end.

The real big dogs, use nitrous just to spool faster some of these cars are just sinister.

Oh, and not every car has 800+. There's an even greater number of 500-750 cars out here. There are just a bunch of high powered cars down here period.

From the vids I have seen a well setup ~140mph car that hooks can do damage against most of the avg cars at txk2k.

We have a large group in Houston that runs together. 800 whp is entry level. 1000-1100 is mid-pack. The faster cars are 1400+.

TX2K brings in a ****-ton of slow *** cars, and actually brings our city average down for the week. You slow guys stay in your own city, just clogging up our highways with slowness. Thanks
