You race what you bring and I do not see a difference between a reason and an excuse.

 

Sean, here's the difference:

Reason - a cause, explanation, or justification for an action of event.
Excuse - a reason or explanation put forward to defend or justify a fault or offense.

The way I see it PROFESSOR Kevin was explaining why the Gallardo didn't annihilate the bike, I didn't see him defending anything.

Carry on now folks!

Why thank you for that tutorial, Pietro.

What is the status of your car? You do realize that you really should not sell it (just maybe do the tranny upgrade).

Also, has Jamie been able to secure a worthy opponent?

I got a call the other day from someone who said there was talk on some other forum of him and a Trans Am (I believe....supposedly made 2kHP) having a rendezvous.

I tell people he will actually drive cross country fer a race and they are always incredulous.

 

here`s the proto running against a switzer r911

Because I know how fast a turbo hayabusa with MC Xpress 400 turbo kit is (I owned one) all I can say about the Gallardo is RESPECT!

 

So you guys think a UGR gallardo with the 4wd working properly would beat even the 450whp lengthened busa that was on this event? The bike in the vid had around 350-360whp.

 

This M5 was one of the fastest at the event. will post vid as soon as they have uploaded them.

^love that e34 m5...

 

Sean - I am actually in the process of deciding if I want to send the G to UGR to do billet 1-6. If I do, I'll do an LP560 front bumper, SL carbon side skirts and an SL carbon spoiler and be done with her. As for Jamie, he has been traveling a lot and hasn't even driven the car in weeks. But you know Jamie, he WILL travel across the USA to get a good race.

side - our cars make 1500 whp on kill, that isn't enough to spank a 450 whp Busa (in my opinion)...but the NERA that Kevin owns would make for a race.

Peter

 

I'm pretty sure there are a couple of turbo busa owners over at psychobike forums in "da smack shack" section who said they will run Jamie for money.

Peter, Kevin's Nera is the one that ran a 9 flat, right?
Would the billet gears allow you to run all out and because you don't have them now you have to hold back a bit? Good luck with the upcoming mods if you do them!

 

Oh, and back to the reason/excuse dichotomy. Lets see, this was a rented place in Europe, yes? As such I am sure someone had to pony up a large chunk of change.

So it was probably not cheap to buy in, you know there will be fast cars/bikes, and you know you had better bring your A game. Thus I can conclude that there is no REASON to make EXCUSES.

 

The russian UGR car was shipped from russia to sweden just for this event. Apparently the 4wd was already broken but he shipped it anyway.

 

No way! I love the UGR cars, but a 450whp busa is in another level. A local, almost daily driven busa that makes 500whp trapped 199 in the south Florida heat so i would say a 450whp busa should have no issues with an 1500whp UGR gallardo.

Not to fuel the Reason/Excuse argument... But from this race with the supra, i would say the road conditions definitely weren't optimal.

I would say a 450 whp Busa will trap in the mid 180's...right about the same as the NERA owned by Kevin...so don't be so sure, I bet it would be a good race. Like I said earlier, my car wouldn't touch a 450 whp busa with a competent rider but Kevin's car? Hmmmmm

As for the billet gears, they will allow me to run 1500 whp safely without having to fear breaking a tranny...

Peter,

Do the billets....maybe upgrade the turbos, but keep the car.
