could my car beat a R6

I am almost done with my turbo FB.
91 motor, t04b 60-1/p-trim
fuel cell, A700 pump, 550/1600
3in exhaust, 20 lbs on 100 octain.
Haltech e6k

im guessing close to 400hp in a 2400lb car
springs, shox, cage, the works.

A buddy of mine is getting a r6 in a few weeks.

He has seen my car and now he wants to race me.

Were thinking a 30mph rolling start racing till one of us starts pulling away.

what do you think.

I was just watching this vid of a guy in a 240 beat a R1
the 240 had a supercharged 350 and fuel injection.

That was a R1

I think you will take him. He is going to pull away down low, but up top you are going to pull hard..

piece of cake. Most people that defends bikes usually own one. Once I get tuned Im going to race my buddys R1 from a 70 mph kick.
Also, dont race under 50 mph youll lose.

depends on the rider, if he is very good, the bikes are tough. However, if he is new to bikes of this caliber, and you are a good driver, you can take him. Most riders only ride at 70 %, at that you will win, at 98% he will take you up to ~100, then aerodynamics take over, by 140 ish it's bye bye bike
You'll notice Supras take hayabusas on a 70-160/170 roll, It take a 800-850rwhp Supra to beat a properly ridden Busa. Carl Byck

If its from a dead stop he will kill you, from a 50mph roll it would be close you might win. And also what year is the R6, cuz some of the new ones are making up near 115hp at the wheel.

400 hp and 2400lbs will kill a r6(not sure by how much though)
were big on racing bike here. Most people that ride a bike cant ride but 70% of what the bike is capable of(somebody has already mentioned).
Just race him and find out. If you lose you suck. (j/k)

Even if you could...

Don't. FB's are not made for real high speeds (120+).
Even with all the spoilers you can put on, you're gonna be taking a ****, and seriously risking your life. They just float at higher speeds.

Unless you have a full GTO Widebody, airplane-winged monster, I would advise that you don't try highspeed highway runs.

From 50-110 or so, should be fine though.

When you finish your swap, give you friend a ride in your car, and let him decide if he thinks his R6 has more ***** or not.
