Sorry guys no more evo for me

 

Hopefully you'll be driving an STi ... LOL! (joke) then your nic would be perfect

 

Post pics when you get it.

 

Sure ill post some pictures, Anyone know where can i get those pink stickers that the MR had in SoCal Evo?

 

We got those stickers from Mitsu corporate at that meet. You could PM Coolguy949 and see if he has any left...

What kind of bikes were you trying to beat with 433RWHP? And what kind of idiot motorcyclists drag race, especially with cage?
Current 600cc motorcycle runs high 10's and low 11's. 1000cc class runs high 9's and low 10's. Bikes have HP to weight ratio of 1:3. In order for car to beat bikes, your "car" needs closer to 1100 RWHP.

 

you forgot one major factor in that theory. Driving skill. from what I understand. the people that test those bikes to make those figures are usually skilled professional riders that have a lot of experience under there belt. There alot of ameature bike riders out there now-a-days.

so in a sense. the bike is faster but the operator must be capable of using the power. hence how a car can be faster.
numbers and figures look good on paper, but producing them is a whole new ball park.

Hey man, I am sure he was talking about on the highway. In my EVO I have outrun some 600cc bikes and I only have 300 AWHP.

In my 01 Z28 I could outrun 600's and 750's with about 350 RWHP.

A bike's power to weight ratio doesn't mean a whole lot on the highway. I doubt he was pulling any liter bikes.

 

Everyone just remember bikes will run that in the quarter mile. But remember its hard to keep the front wheel down under hard accereration like that . Thats why most of us can beat them with hp numbers in the 400 hp range at the wheels .

Never was able to beat the 1000, only a lot of 600 and some 750s

 

This logic is so flawed. All you need is a semi competent rider. 600cc is atleast 1-2 seconds faster than a fast car. Even if the rider messed up big time on launch, he/she can catch up fast. Pro rider manage 11 secs on 600cc, and pro driver manage 13 seconds on car. Most rider cannot do 11 secs on bike, so does most driver can't do 13 seconds on car.

Launching a bike correctly is not that difficult, its about the same as launching a car if not easier. And the bike has huge advantage to start with.

 

There is no possible way your Z28 can outrun a modern 600. What you beat is probably a 45 hp 450lb FZR600, or a Katana 750.

Last time, I was toying with a Modena with my duc 748. I easily beat it from 80 to 120mph. And my 748 is extremley slow comparing with my 998 and 1000RR.

 

u never defined what "fast car" is... and I dont know where this 13 seconds is coming from

But let's assume fast car means production vehicles
in that case the McLaren F1 can do the quartermile in 11.9's =)

 

Its very easy to keep the front wheel planted on the ground. First, lean as forward as you can on the tank. Second, extend your legs out toward the back. Third, slip the clutch while twisting the throttle. Another way is using your right foot to cover the rear brake, this way, there is no way the bike can flip over on you.

BTW, if you don't chop the throttle and whack it open all the way quickly while you are on first or second gear, its actually quite hard to power wheelie a 600 from the start. It actually takes some skill to wheelie a 600. You have to be really stupid to messed up the launch because 600 doesn't make much below 6k rpm.

But of course, whoever is stupid enough to drag race with a car probably don't know how to ride anyway, so i guess beating them is possible.
