Yup, this is the reality:

TransAM WS6, 150 shot nitrous, TSP cam, full bolt ons, tuned vs. stock GSXR 1000

I havent had any crotch rockets try me but I had had 2 harley Davisons try me and both went down. Both from a dig to about 75-85 and I was a good 4-5 cars ahead. The ferther we went the more I was pulling on them.

**Zinergy** · 10-26-2009, 08:59 AM

To the OP with a cam/head f-body with a 150 shot should be trapping 130s, so with your spray you might beat a good rider but without it you would get pulled for sure.

**1986camarojoe** · 10-26-2009, 10:37 AM

well I wouldnt make up beating a crotch rocket soo maybe they were small ones with a shitty driver.

Most likely shitty riders. A bad rider can really make a rocket seem slow. I raced my friends 04 350z the day after i got my first f4i and only won by like 2 or 3 cars. That was the same f4i that i ran an 11.4 at 127mph with after i was riding for a while. It had the mph to go 10s but i couldn't launch it that hard without letting off from fear of the too tall wheelie lol. The pro rider who got 2 600s to go 9.9 was launching at 13krpms and never backed the throttle down, can't imagine how i would pull that off with a stock length swing arm

Those suck. They only run 13s I think.

**EVIL-LS1** · 10-26-2009, 11:32 AM

Ya I now they have to be slow since my 02 Z28 beat them.

**blackSS01** · 10-26-2009, 12:30 PM

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't you need about 800+ rwhp to keep up with a 1000cc bike

**Packy** · 10-26-2009, 12:32 PM

There must be some shitty riders where you guys live because in my TA I have barely outran a few R6's and 750's. Most of those racs were when I was a six speed too... I have only raced one bike since the swap to TH-400 and it was an R1. I stayed with him from 60 mph until I ran out of gear at 137mph. Then he was gone!

I would use trap speed as more of base to start with, lets just say a full bolt on 1000cc sportbike can trap 140-145mph and a full bolt on zx14 or busa can trap 150+mph and put down 190whp. Once again of course these are good riders. So how ever much power it takes your car to trap those speeds is what you would need.

It is a no-brainer man. The power to wieght ratio is too drastic for most street cars to overcome. Shitty riders constitutes 90% of every bike kill IMO!

True, I love bikes, I have owned 3 cbrs. But one thing I cant stand is those guys who butt into any car conversation and say oh yea well how about I go get my rocket and then you can see what fast is. I really like to lay into to those A-holes and let them know how F-ing stupid they are. You cant compare cars to bikes, it takes alot of work and love to make a car fast and as much as I love riding and the speed of my bikes I wont put down someones quick car because my bike might be faster.

You'll need to trap 140+mph to run one down. If you're Fbody is doing that, it can probably run in the 9s. The only street cars I usually see running these guys down are big turbo Supras, crazy worked F/I Vettes, or worked exotics.... and maybe a small handful of ronin domestics and imports with some ridiculous setup.

I enjoyed my R1 while I had it. Fun things but too dangerous for me!

I had a guy at work tell me he would race me on his BUSA from a 40 roll after he saw me pull into the parking lot with my TA... Yeah that would be really fair huh. I then told him I would race him from a dead stop at the track and he dis-agreed and backed out completely. He knew he couldn't launch that thing to save his life! LOL!

**blackSS01** · 10-26-2009, 02:32 PM

I am no where near trapping even 130+

**RageAgainstTheMinivan** · 10-26-2009, 02:41 PM

I overheard a salesman at the local bike dealer trying to sell one to some punk high schooler "10 grand for the bike, or a 100 grand for a porsche? Same performance"

I giggled.

**Speed_kills_WS6** · 10-26-2009, 06:26 PM

I'm looking for my time slip from last year on my bike. I trapped 143 I believe, this was with a modest launch. 60 ft. was around 2.0. This is on my 08 GSXR1000, full yoshi exhaust and a K&N filter. Its downright silly fast. There were Busas & ZX-14's trapping 150+.

First of all, most tracks don't allow bikes and cars to run on opposing lanes for safety reasons.

Second, he really wouldn't have to launch it to beat you. He could just roll out and win. These bikes can put out 115-118mph in the 1/8 mile stock. A 140+mph trap is not uncommon.

I've lost to Hayabusas too, and my car was trapping 140mph on high boost, granted I had traction problems on the street. Even with boost by gear to negate some of the traction issues, I still got pulled by relatively stock Hayabusas.
