[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P97WFp06rDs"]YouTube - TX2K11 - John Von & Underground Racing call out Titan Motorsports[/ame]

A bit unfair of a callout, built motor vs stock longblock, but oh well...TX2K12 should be interesting.

That is some bs... only so many ways to run piping. I understand UR doesn't like competition in the previously unchallenged market, but no need for this filmed spectacle to go down like that. Even if they took some ques from UR's stuff.

Nero rightly declines an obviously grossly mismatched race and with all the accomplishment of Titan I think they have earned more respect than that display. Everyone was too busy showing off for UR owner or fueling the situation for their own enjoyment.

I lose a bit of respect for UR, this appears completely setup to corner Nero with a stock motor 800whp car vs a UR totally built 1400-1500+whp car, saying its a TT car... so its fair. Nonsense to anyone with even the most vague understanding of cars.

Seem like it was done to embarrass Nero for a camera, who seems like a nice guy and remained pretty damned professional/ polite, which I can respect. A guy like that who is going to smile and take it still being professional is going to go back to work and show how funny he thought that was.

I would have a TON more respect for UR if the owner acted like a bit more classy/ professional and said hey you know what best of luck to Titan, we do it better in our option, we are proven, and will let the cars work it out whenever they meet. At least in public, keep that other shit behind closed doors. Just made them look like defensive rich elitist who had someone earn a dollar he believes he is only entitled to to have.

Knock off junk or whatever UR owner said... seeing Titans stuff has that thought ever come to ANYONE's mind. Wow, someone a little sandy and worried about the future competition. Acting like they don't have the right to build something in their market.

Yeah I cant say this is fair for Titan at all. If UR really wanted to make and a good race to see what company is better they need to get a stock lambo with their TT kit and race.
Stock block Vs. Built, you have to be retarded and know nothing about cars to think thats fair.

Wow talk about a set up. Looks like someone is scared and had to attack right away cause he knows his days on top are numbered.

I understand how Underground would be a little bothered by this, but I disagree with how they went about handling the situation. If you were the first to do something as significant as Underground did you'd be a little annoyed/threatened/pissed if someone started, in your opinion, copying off your ideas. They have to keep in mind though that it was only a matter of time before someone else started producing the same kind of set ups. The hostility shows they are scared though, and rightfully so.

If they thought Titan was nothing to worry about it they could laugh it off...but now they know it's only a matter of time before Titan is building Lambos that are just as fast, if not faster than theirs. Now underground has to step it up. This just means even faster street cars in the future...This is capitalism at its finest haha

To think they weren't going have competition is just stupid. They just need to make sure everything is to quality cause I know it will be from Titan. Another company they should probably start worrying about is AMS. Idk if they plan on building cars like that but with what they did to the gtr and the whole fact that mike just bought his first Ferrari not to long ago wouldn't surprise me if they got in on this also. A lot of these cars run in the Texas mile so maybe Tony Palo would get in on it to I know he just expanded his shop and now has an awd dyno.

Yup, I'm WSsick on LS1tech. Check out post #23 in that thread. I agree there are only so many ways to run piping but......

....I don't know, nor do I care. I just want to see them both put 2 cars on supermegaultimate kill mode and run 'em.

Tony is been doing GTR's lately. Just released a set of T1 rails for GTR's, ID1600 GTR injector sets to go with the 1000's and 2000's already offered, etc.

His black GTR just made 709awhp I believe... on a very simple setup and e85.

I agree on topic, wait till others throw their hat in the ring with Lambo market. UR is going to be the option for people who wanna spend 20 grand more on a kit to get the name.
