Titan Motorsports' Grand Opening yesterday was a great success, with a wide variety of cars on display, massive horsepower numbers in the dyno competition, multiple vendors on hand with lots of racing parts for sale, and all the proceeds benefitted two local charities.

Titan Motorsports put on the event in celebration of its recent relocation into a new 25,000-sq-ft facility near the Orlando International Airport.

Over 50 cars were entered into the car show, which filled both the front and rear lots of Titan's new facility. From full-on race cars like the drag-racing Mitsubishi Evolution from Central Florida Turbo, to a suede-interior VIP-tuned Lexus GS300 with a 2JZ-GTE Toyota Supra engine swap. Other notable cars included two Mazda RX7s swapped with 20B 3-rotor engines and a very rare S15 Nissan Silvia.

Some very powerful cars appeared on the dyno as well. An 80s-era Z31 Nissan 300ZX made 601hp to the wheels, and a very normal-looking Lexus SC300 with a license plate that said "5LEEPR" posted an amazing 866hp to the wheels. But neither of them could touch Titan's own 2JZ-GTE-swapped Mk3 Toyota Supra, which posted an astounding 1261hp.

Many vendors were also displaying their latest in racing parts, including Borla Exhausts, Cometic Gaskets, and Koyo Radiators.

Tijuana Flats catered the food, and some of the proceeds from the event went to their charity, Just in Queso. Boys' Town in Oviedo also received donations at the event.

The event was a big success, a lot of fun, and an excellent kickoff for Titan as they continue to grow as one of the world's premiere performance companies.
