My car has 9 second power now if I can find some way to put it down.... only 1 more week of tracks being open, so it won't happen this year. Next year, though. Fully streetable, daily driveable, and will start every time you ask it to. ;-)

Yeah, I don't think some people realize (even bike riders) what kind of personal skill and machine setup it takes to reach 9's. A 9 second car is fast as ******* ****, I don't care what anyone says. Hell, I consider any vehicle in the 11's or below to be fast as ****. I know there are alot of cars and bikes that can do it, but honestly how often do you run into it?
I've had the same gripe against litre bike guys for a while. I'm fully capable of riding litre bikes, I've ridden for a while and that is not the issue. Seeing as how their 1/4 time differences are negligible against 600's, and they are heavier, I don't ride one. I can outrun a litre bike in the turns. The straights and top end are a different story, but honestly how fast do you need to go? Does it matter if your bike reaches 160 or 200? How often are you going to need that, let alone compare it to someone?
600's are generally the same length and overall size as litrebikes, and I am much more comfortable with their powerband. Forget all of the douches that rip

If I can find some way to get traction with that power and I decide I need more, I'll probably do the bottom end mid-late next season and go for as much as I can.
What kind of shot?
