Back in the 7 life again
may 9th is not good for me since Im in the process of trying to move so that and trying to get the car tuned is going to be tough...
it doesnt matter anyway, my car doesnt have near the power (or gauges) that ramy's does. Its near stock

I'll def. hit ya up soon 
As for place, honestly...for perfect visibility, long straight stretches, very wide lanes and highway, and good pavement, the only local place I have in mind is Rt. 50 East, going from DC to Annapolis. Whatcha think? (In case you're not familiar w/ it, it's a 5 lane highway, EACH way
and the average speed of ppl driving is usually about 85 - 90!)

well id definitly not be trying to do this at 3 am since i work 5-6 days a week. ya im not familiar with a lot of highways cause i rarely use them unless im in a big hurry. so you suggest some places and ill have to scope them out first. all i gotta say is if we pass a cop at 150 i have no intention of stopping. im thinking about changing my gearing back to stock for this race.

Bukwild, Route 66 is a horrible idea (no offense). VA is actually underway w/ an initiative to enforce speed limits more strictly out West, since it seems that they're not being enforced enough (read: since that area isn't pulling it's weight in raising revenue lol). That, and I simply WON'T race in VA. End of story. I'm not going to jail. I live here, and I know the drill.
I actually wanna do this in broad daylight. I'm not doing a buck fifty in the darkness of night. During the day, you can see the road and other cars, visibility is 100% (at this specific location), and you can also spot cops.
That said, I have absolutely NO plans of stopping either. I'm fairly certain in about 15 seconds, I can be out of visual sight of any cop, at any speed.

At the time I had everything you had (less gauges), a Pettit ECU instead of the PFC and a large FMIC. I ran against Z06s at the track and on the road, against a straight stock Z06 ('02, '01), I can just about keep pace. At the time I was running 12.2-12.6 at the track which is what a stock Z06 runs.
What you are stating is that with one less power mod (FMIC) than me and running 2 psi less you are pulling on a Z06? I'm not going to raise the bs flag, but I'm guessing the Z06 driver had a little better sensibility on public highways and didn't push his car.

A bikini isn't going to make a fat girl hot.
An RC51 isn't going to make every rider fast.
I've seen a GSXR600 beat a Turbo Busa at the drag stip because the guy couldn't ride. So yeah I believe him that he beat an RC51, why the hell not?
You acusing someone of being a squid because they think the RC51 isn't that fast makes you look like a squid. Reason I say that is because you seem narrow minded and to me, that is what defines a squid. I'm sure you think a Busa can't turn either right?

ya busa i agree with you cause with bikes its always on the rider. im not biased toward any particular bike i just prefer suzukis better. ive ridden most of the bikes out right now and i still love my zuk.
by the way i never said fdnewbie didnt beat the bike. i have no prob believing his story thats why were gonna race. i want to see what i cna do against him cause ive only ever raced 1 other car.

this aint nothing special though thats the thing its just getting way over hyped. just 2 guys 1 in a car 1 on a bike throwin down for all there worth. i dont know we do this kinda stuff all the time so it aint outa the ordinary im just trying to have some fun thats why i havent said we should out money on it. when you organize a race theres normally money ridin on it.

I'm still aiming for sometime between the 9th and the 19th if that's good w/ you, your friends, and my friend. Do you know two or three guys that could do some scoutin for cops for us (as I previously described) while we're doin the run?
