    if the auto is leaving the line off the foot brake, then yeah. The whole reason behind having an auto for the strip is because they are consistant. You dont have to worry about miss shifts. Having a trans brake and stall converter, you leave at the exact RPM you want to leave at every time.

    The drivers ability is more noticeable from a standstill than from a roll. It is challenging to launch a gsxr 1000 properly; therefore it is typically easier to beat them from a dig as long as the car hooks

    Not gonna read all the ignorance in this thread, but in the little I did read DesielNuts pretty much sumed up the truth.
    Most (if not all) 10 second cars will beat the average joe on a GSXR1000 AT ALL SPEEDS.

    Go to any track at any time and you'll see people running 11's and even 12's on Busa's, which are MUCH easier to drag than any other gixxer. Racing bikes is a whole different world than cars. There are many factors they have that arent as much a factor in a car. I have seen 12 second cars beat 1000's. You just need to know the time.

    Now as far as the professional times posted on the first page, a 10.7 car is easily capable of pulling even a rider of that caliber from a roll. And even at low speeds, bacause the 1000's are setup for road race, very powerful, and VERY hard to drag

    Trust me, I've been racing bikes for 15 years.

    And when it comes to drag racing bikes in my car, unless its slammed and stretched I dont even think twice.
