My car is going into the shop for another round of mods and I am hoping to eventually run a low 5 second 60-130 and that would have to be in optimal conditions so no, there is no way that I am going to beat anything that is running a 4.48.

 

Nice car and nice bike but bad video.

 

Well, you certainly won't beat him to 130. But bikes lose acceleration really fast at high speeds. The fast 60-130 times that I've measured for bikes were always a function of being very quick from 60 -100, rather than pulling hard from 100-130 or so.

The modded 'busa I raced a while back at only mid-boost (730-750 rwhp) had previously run a 9.1 @ 155 on his bike. You'd think he would have beaten me...rather than the other way around.

Never underestimate how well a fast roll-on car can do against a liter bike at high-speed...regardless of who the rider is. An experienced bike rider still can't defy the physics of wind-resistance and low overall power ("low" meaning relative to a 700+ rwhp car).

 

Yes, I would give my car a shot in a 70-160.

Again, it would be nice to see some roll on races set up at the Tx Mile this year. That would get me down to Goliad.

 

May not have opened up the engine, but the statement below is HARDLY true based on the statement above

Anyone else click on this?

 

It likely is very true. My 2001 stroker runs exactly what michaelmatthews bike runs. There is a guy here that has an 07 also, and runs exactly the same numbers. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it myself. The new gixxers are fast(er).

 

Back when I ran that race it was BONE STOCK.Pump gas ,stock exhaust,etc

 

My 2001 GSXR1000 ran 9.71 at 143 bone stock. It dyno'd 147 on my buddy's dyno. As I said, my 2001 with a stroker motor (1140cc bored and stroked) are about as fast as the new bikes. These new bikes are WAY faster.
