  1. I have a few stock 03 Cobra parts for sale.

    All prices are firm and I accept cash or PAYPAL only. I will deliver the item to you as long as your in the Columbus area. I can post pics for serious inquiries.

  2. Gearing would be an issue I think, but last night showed me that Alex's car and STI's in general can make just as much power as C5 big jetted Z06s, :eek::p alex's beast was tuned by Phil from Element Tuning at Slowmotion lastnight. If I only had the cash.......

     

    BTW link does not work.....

     

    The GT in the vid puts down 630RWHP and with it's gearing it would be tough to beat. I'm guessing that it would trap in the upper 130 range given a stock one traps around 126-127. The vid doesn't show much anyway. He gives the STI the hit and then pulls a car or two and the STI immediately gets off the gas. Alex's car sounds impressive though. If he's local I'd like to run him this summer. From a roll of course. :)

  3. Now that I have gone back and looked at some of the C-bus and Houston1/2 videos; notice how it's the same 8-10 cars always racing in the C-bus videos. In the Houston videos, (with the exception of BigTurkey, Kareem, and a couple others) there is probably 40-50 cars and pretty much all the races are different people. That's not even considering what didn't leave the parking lot to run. Even for what isn't show, Houston has a stronger street scene IN VIDEOS and IN PERSON! :)

     

    You get my point though. You could make some pretty nice videos and give the perception of a great racing scene even though Houston may have a much better one in reality. You don't think we really landed on the moon do you? ;) Did you persuade the wife on the turbo yet?

  4. In short terms, what I was getting at is "IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!"

     

    C-Bus on the BEST nights is not even 1/2 of the cars that I have seen show up on a NORMAL night in Houston. Not even close!

     

    How many of you guys have actually seen the Houston scene in person? Not the BS videos posted, I'm talking actual racing? (Brittmore, Westheimer, Rankin, etc.....)? Once again, NOT EVEN CLOSE!

     

    The funny thing, is that you don't need 200 cars to give the impression of a good street racing scene. You need about 12-15 guys and some good video and editing. I just re-watched the two "famous" Houston videos and there were only about 12 or so cars involved in the videos. The really great part is that none of them were all that fast. Those two videos gave me and a lot of others on the internet the impression of a great street racing scene in Houston. Those could have been the only guys in town racing and I wouldn't know any better because I've never been there. If 20 or so guys in Columbus/Cleveland make a couple great vids of TT, cammed sprayed Z06's and LS1's, sprayed KB Cobra(s) :), a TT Mach1, Vipers, a 10 second Dodge Colt,....etc. why wouldn't people believe that there might be a good street racing scene here? It's all perception.
