What you see is not what you get necessarily.

You saw 2, one C6 that was a 427 Devil Ray...rest were C5's, ZO6's

The red C5 is an STS-South Texas TT with TNT 100 wet Shot. REgarding the Z06 that is a 408ci with direct shot putting 548rwhp without spray. Zo6 plans for STS-South Texas TT kit with either 60-1 or 67mm turbos.

Some of the LS1 are heavily modified and some of the SVT's are definitely >500+rwhp.

Again this event was not to make distinctions between my car and your car but was designed to demonstrate, illustrate and showcase peoples efforts, hardwork and creativity

Please come out and play and enjoy the cruise next time and visit with each individual owner and actually see what type of effort they have done and maybe have a go at it with one of them...i'm sure they wont mind.

Also Please come out for an early cruise as 500+ committee members arrange a cruise for all to enjoy for the next meet.

Yeah I noticed those cars for sure, and I do know a lot of the guys that were out there, but I was just expecting more and now I realize it wasn't even the main event!

Those supras looked pretty nice, and that 911 was also clean. I liked G's car better when the old owner Joe had the wide dished CCW's on it (HRE'S are even more baller, but that lip was so sexy), and duy's supra is a TuRD!

I didn't go cause I thought everyone there would be way to fast for my mild Cobra, but in this weather anything can happen and I might hit the dyno to see if I can hit that magic 500 mark with my filter/catback vert. Seriously I might have to go poke around with you guys when ya'll hold the main event. Great cars even better people here in houston!

Yes, I have the same 14" Baer rotors on my Vette, and they only use half the rotor. Baer supposedly has a new set out that you use the whole rotor now. I know it doesnt look so hot, but damn do they work good!

It was an awesome meet. I'm glad I came out, at first I was a little worried that I would feel like an idiot for showing up to a 500+ meet with a car that doesn't even make that, but everyone was very welcoming. Thanks guys.

you're not the only one as my Cobra only puts down 280 to the wheels. Andy made me feel more than welcome and took me around and introduced me to some of the big wigs. A great group of car enthusiasts.....can't wait till the next one.

Hey Mike
Your car did great...You are always welcome. There were no big wigs they are just people with the same interests as you and I...cars, girls and horsepower!!!

I just want everyone to feel welcome and enjoy the day and the fun run

Anytime...I never designed this about the 500rwhp, only to display the 500+rwhp cars. We are about participation and meeting others in the horsepower community.

look forward to seeing you at the next event

Looks like it was a decent turn out-nice pics.

Garrett, I sure am glad to see that car in the right hands now. Let me know if you ever have any questions about it. I only have like a thousand hours in it. Great purchase man!
