    Default 6 Speed is great!!!

    On the way home tonight a couple of street bike's pulled up beside me and wanted to play.So we came to a red light and when it turned green we rolled out to about 15mph and it was on. I hammered it in 1st granny shifted 2nd and pulled him in 2nd and 3rd was leaving him!! Got to about 5000rpm in third and we had to slow down. I asked what size bike it was and he said it is a GSXR 1000!!!
    My car hook's amazingly well in first and second. I wish I never spent the money on the auto!i would of liked to see what the bike would do on the hwy,but I believe he was headed home as I was. It was fun!

    I am running the nitto's still.Nothing has changed. Still at 12lbs of boost.The only thing I did was put the new torque arm on.It is the one the remove's it from the tail housing and mount's about half way under the car.The car just squat's a little and go's.Something is working right on it!

    well here is a comment that isnt smart ass. Those are professional riders. Plus, have you noticed that when a car outruns a bike, its on top end? if you get a car that runs the same 1/4mi. as a bike and run them both from a 40-50mph roll, the car will beat the bike in the 140mph+ zone. Once you get to a certain speed, aerodynamics become a huge factor. Cars that have the power to turn an ET the same as a crotchrocket have enough power to overcome they're lack of aerodynamics to a point so they dont have to worry about them untill even higher speeds. Ever notice that a foxbody mustang is such a popular drag car, but has the aerodynamics of a brick?

    But the guy he raced could be an average or below average rider. Your an idiot. Just because one driver can run a 9.79 doesnt mean it is easily replicated

    No shit.... But I was Looking at the Trap Speeds cause they Don't lie... If his car traped only traped 130 then no matter how bad the rider a Bike will trap 140 pretty easy...

    Any more NutSwingers Ready to chim in.....

    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.

    I am not a nut swinger, but anything can happen on the street, not to mention over 85% of the people who ride now adays are marginal at best... And in one of his posts I thought I read he made low 7XX's... so I would be willing to bet it was possible.

    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

    Sry but i would have to see it in person to believe it even with a roockie rider that gsxr1000 is 1 bad ass bike unless it was an older 1 cause i no it wasnt a 2004 and up. unless u got a low 9 sec car..
    I check sluts off my list like a maintnence man
    I drive a low is3 just so it gives me a reason to drive super slow on these rough ga roads.

    i see TONS of bikes at SDR ....dunno what size they are but seldom are they faster than my car and I am only running low 10s. Most cant 60' for shit...they bog real bad or wheelie...and then let out and just kill the 60' time. An experienced track rider is VERY different than the avg crotch rocket rider who usually does the 60-160 kick. Go to any dragstrip and watch the street bikes.....you will get to see tons of 9 sec bikes run 10s and 11s.
    Chris went 6 speed because it was a quick fix. He did not want the car to be down for a few weeks/month and that is understandable. Maybe after the "new" wears off his new toy he might be able to have the car down for a bit . For now, he just wants to drive!!!

    Let's get one thing straight. I have no reason to lie about anything. My car made 735rwhp with the auto and ran 135mph in the quarter spinning through second.If you are so smart then you will know that when you put a 6 speed in a car it will automatically make more horsepower!!! So I am guessing it make's in the range of 750rwhp or so now.We ran from about 3500 in 1st up to about 5000rpm in third for me.whether he let off or what i do not know but he was not giving anything to me! Maybe he couldn't ride i do not know but The faster i went the further he was behind.The gsxr 1000 was i guess by looking about a 99 or so maybe newer. They all look the same to me! You don't know me so don't talk shit about me or my car. If you can outrun me,then talk all the shit you want,until then STFU!!!!!

    It is what it is. Whether or not he was a good rider or not,he still raced me and lost! We ran 4 or 5 time's and the outcome was the same!It is just possible my car hook's and is that quick!!!

    i think jealousy is playing a big part in this thread. are you mad that his car can out run a 1000? Do not be jealous, be envious.

    like some1 else said in this thread, most riders are moderate at best.

    I am just curious on what you did to those Nitto's to get them to hook on the street putting 750+ rwhp to them? And this was through a manual tranny too? I am assuming that the 15 mph was also 1st gear unless I missed something but Nitto's suck dick if you have over 250 rwhp even at the track so what's the secret?

    Not trying to start a flame war but holy miracle maker getting those tires to hook is impressive as hell.

    Ah and as far as the jealous comments are concerned, don't bring that in my direction because if I wanted a vette I would already have one.

    Isn't your vette the twin turbo'd one that hangs at Gwinnett from time to time?
