120mph traps are not good enough for mid 10s in a street car. Mid 11s, sure, but not mid 10s.

That is my whole problem with this thread. That statement right there is what's wrong. And you want to talk about someone avoiding something, not a single person here can say that they've run sub 10's. Lupe's the only person even close to that, but it'll take a lot more to push it there. A supra decked out to the max would be able to pull off sub 9's. But there damn sure isn't "plenty of modded cars" that are out there like that.
WOW ROFL....for you to even mention that Lupe is the only person close is enough for me to not even waste my time with you..
they have gone 10's on stock turbos. There are plenty of FD's running 9's just because you dont know any dosnt mean they dont exist.
And its MUCH easier to get a 10 sec slip in a rx7 then a supra....rx7 is a much better drag car.. 450rwhp is all you need...
OH and I dont know where you live but over here high hp cars that SPANK any NA bike are old news....
MERLIN just give up dude..let it go your just going to keep making a fool of yourself.

RX-7's are terrible drag cars!! Where the hell did you get that notion? And where are there plenty of FD's running 9's? Show me all of these streetable FD's that are pulling 9's, I'd love to see them. I don't know about you, but I've been here for a few years, and the only guys pulling those numbers sure as hell aren't street legal. There may be one or two, but not "plenty".

terrible drag cars?? I think getting a 10 sec slip with only 450hp is pretty dam impressive if you ask me... Most cars will not do that.. I cant even think of any other car that could do that right now..
So all a rx7 needs to run 9's is what? figure it out.. 550? arent there plenty with that power?
granted its not easy to get a 9 sec pass for other reasons. traction, launch, driver etc etc but dosnt the same rules apply when your talking about bikes.. You think just because the mag says it could do 10s YOU will do it too.. Com on why are you even arguing about this.
And most liter bikes cant even go FULL Throttle down the track STOCK without it turning into a unicycle race, so go ahead a do all the mods you want thinking youll be faster.
and by the way you think this forum is home to every rotory enth, most dont even waste there time and maybe its because of retarted members and all there stupid arguments like this.
Check out PR or Austuralia if you want to see fast street driven rotories kid...

For the most part I've seen people running around with 400-450 horses. So again, i'd like to see a link to something. Here's another stock bike, this one a Hayabusa, running mid 9's stock.

OK Mr Merlin the pro rider... Go jump on your rocketship bike and take it to the dragstrip this weekend and if you go faster then a 10.99 I wont say another word.. Deal?
Ask Lupe yourself and he will tell you that he should be going a lot faster then his 10.74 pass, he'll admit himself he cant drive. People have gone faster with much less STUPID..

There's plenty of guys with LS1/2/6 rx7's running 10's on www.torquecentral.com on street tires.

RX-7's were NEVER designed to be drag cars. They probably have some of the worst wheel hop on launch that I have ever seen. The suspension in those cars is for spirited driving and road racing, NOT drag racing. The only thing they have going for them on the strip is the fact that they are light, that's IT.
This isn't a stupid arguement whatsoever. I've seen many bikes run lower times than what you're saying. I agree with you that it is mostly dependent on the rider, I don't think I ever argued that. Nor did I argue the fact that there are cars that will stomp bikes. However, the whole idea that "600's are slow" is absolutely ******* retarded.

That there is a lot more to it than magazine numbers, that most people are not going to be able to run close to what the mags get unless they are at the track quite often? That just because you have big power doesn't mean you are going to make a quick ET?
How about those pictures?

Look at the other video's on that site and see what a capable rider on a bike even older than your friends can do to some serious cars.

Went from a 60, lost about 4-5 cars then reeled in at about 100-110, by 140 was only 2 back. So yeah, it is top-end, and from a stop it wouldn't have been pretty. I told my friend that, and told him to challenege my other friend from a 60.

Whoa buddy. Now you have said something stupid. Lupe only one close to sub 10's? Lupe isn't anywhere close to the fastest on this board. Do a little research.

450 whp with an RX-7 is not just that easy.

****, there are 8 second 6-speed Supras. What about the Auto's? Damn Marko's car ran 8.45 on a streetable boost setting, around 1150 hp. Full interior, no weight savings almost at all. Sreet driven, on street legal drag radials.
Later on he dynoed at 59 PSI and made 1520 to the wheels. Can you say 7's fully streetable. (That is if the car held together.
Oh, and there are a lot of 9 second Supra's. A LOT.

I never said Supra's couldn't go below 9's. I said there aren't plenty of modded cars like that, because there isn't. I'm not stupid, i know how much power a Supra can make. I also know what it takes to get it there and that's a LOT of money. Not a lot of people have that kind of money.
Read the post before my previous, I said from surfing around here that Lupe's was the fastest streetable 7 I've seen. I haven't searched for it, but that's what I've seen. If there are tons of 7's that are streetable doing 9's, i'll retract that statement.
And 'Busa, have you read anything I've posted? I'm not saying that you can run the lowest time right out of the box. I've said that liter bikes can consistantly run low 9's and high 8's, which is a lot faster than most on this board.

Yeah, that is completely plausible then. Most bikes will get reeled in over 110 or so.

I am not saying your car isn't fast, because it is fast as ****. I am just saying, it isn't anywhere near fastest on the borad.
Now if you could drive maybe I would retract my statement
Just giving you **** dude.
