I just got my car tuned and its running nicely. My friend has a 600rr with an exhaust and intake. He wants to race me tonight, so i accepted his challenge. I need to find a camcorder, or at least a digital camera to record a vid for everyone to watch. I think we are going to do a 60 punch, because i get no traction in 2nd, and 3rd gear my car still spins at 7k rpm. I think I should pull on him. He has been in my car and knows its fast, but keeps saying "i dont think its THAT fast" in compairison to the bike. We will see Stay tuned for a video later tonight so long as he doesnt chicken out!!

 

smoke him

 

From a roll I think you'll get him. If you guys went from a stop and he can launch, I think it'd be a pretty close race.

 

should make a fun vid.

 

i need to find a camcorder with night vision so it looks decent.

 

You'll get him if it's a 600. I think a friend told me he pulled on an R6 in his Supra - his supra is auto, stalled, and dyno'd 430ish on low boost (16-18psi), but he ran the bike on high boost (26+psi).

I say, if you are anywhere in the deep 400's, you got him.

 

you should beat him...cant wait to see the vid.. be safe!

 

You're probably going to put 2-4 cars on him depending on how high you take it, assuming you hold traction on these cold *** roads. Remember to brake boost and you'll pull on him instantly otherwise you'll have to reel him back in. Good luck!

 

What year R6? My '04 would probably walk on your friends supra, from a roll or otherwise. I easily rolled on a C5 ZO6 from a 40mph roll up to about 100, so I don't think a Supra in that horsepower range would be much different. Wish I still had that bike, it was a lot of fun, just too dangerous around here.

 

cant wait to see the vid.

sounds like it will be pretty good race.

 

supras weigh about 400 more punds then the Zo6 you raced, I would need to see a video to believe your R6 beat a new one easily. Plus a new Zo6 has way higher top end then your bike, so I really doubt that your bike could win that race.

 

C5 version, not the new C6, though I still think it'd take one of those, if not so easily. I might borrow my friends GSX-R600 and see if I can't get a vid.

 

god damnit!! i cant find a camcorder! I might just have to use a digital camera

 

If you break boost and do it well, you should beat him and probably scare the crap outta him race him till the end of 4th at least so you can really do a number on him..

 

I don't think your 600 would have a chance from a dig, that's what this supra is built for.

In a week or so, he's going to run another R6 from a dig and I'll be in the car getting video and I'll post then..

 

Eric, my buddy with the cobalt has a night vision video camera. Its awesome. He would prolly go watch and tape it. let me know

 

Bad news, i just got off the phone with my friend and the dealership couldnt get the tires on today. Should be on tomorrow is what he said I will definately post the vid once i race him. He is going to sell the 600rr to a friend, and buy the new 1000rr or r6, so i should have a few good races comming up. Stay tuned.

 

heh, if its an FD racing the 600rr, which i think his is, our top speed limiter kicks in well before the end of fourth...

that is unless of course the limiter is removed then all i have to say is i hope your guardian angel has afterburners too look after your butt if you do take fourth to red.

 

You've never seen bikes at the dragstrip I bet.

 

What?

 

why pick on a 600cc bike?
try a liter

edit: also a stock r6 can run 11 seconds easily
and no ive never seen a bike at the strip, im sure theyre faster
im gonna have to go with merlin on the r6

 

With sprockets and a lowering link, no engine work or anything, they got my model R6 to do 9.9x in the 1/4. Granted that was with a pro rider, but I'm just saying it's possible. Most good R6 riders pull mid 10's with the newbies running low 11's. 60ft. times are normally low 1.7's, so yes, even 600cc bikes can move.

 

Like I said, there will be video. I'm not going to argue based on info from a professional rider in Shitville, USA since ANYTHING can happen on the street.

I've seen bikes at the strip. A few buddies actually own 1300cc Hayabusa's and a turbo R1.

One thing I will say about the Supra though, it was built for Drag and even at low boost settings, it has taken out 11 second cars on the street.. and yes, they hook.. gotta love those Built auto/stalled, full suspension, M&H Racemaster'd Supra's.

He beat my friends GTO which ran a 11.6 at 120mph with a 1.8 - 60' and got him out of the hole by 1.5-2 cars and pulled 3 more up top on lower boost.

I'm also sure the comment "he dyno'd 4XX hp with low boost, now he's running higher boost" also flew right above you... 8-10PSI in mostly any boosted car (specially one with a T71, AEM EMS) will make a dramatic difference..

 

He will be able to get the bike back tomorrow, but the forecast is rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

r6>roger

where matty at huh?
