Some of these trucks with a decent Cam, exhaust, intake and tune are claiming beating on Cammed WS6's, Blown GT's, etc. and they turn around and run low 14's @ 90-93 MPH.

I've come across some very fast trucks, and they can catch a lot of fast cars off guard.

My 1997 Trans Am (non-WS6) ran 13.7 mostly stock (no engine work, bolt ons only) @ 97mph at Pomona Street Legal Drags with Potenza tires, so I'm not sure how a cammed WS6 is in the 14s, unless you're at Carlsbad Raceway (San Diego) back in the early 2000s/1990s (when I was blown with M/T Streets @ 18psi, I'd spin all the way into 3rd gear there)

Then it's probably not a street legal car, or you need to stop stalking girls on Ninja 250s

Yeah, I never got it. I'd drive around in my blown Trans Am, and no one would even "rev" on me, much less race. However, highly modified CBR1000RR in race livery and every a$$clown wants a run (in their car).

Odds are if you beat a bike: it's older than a 2000 600, or the guy didn't bother downshifting. If you don't see him drop at least 2 gears (assuming rolling start), he's probably not really trying (or if from start, if the front tires not at least 6 inches off the ground). I beat "sports cars" on my 1995 Honda CBR600 F3 short shifting (keeping engine below 5k, w/ 10k redline), back in '95, because I still had less than 500 miles on the engine. I laughed about that one for a long time, because they had no idea I was barely touching the potential power.

Yeah based on the dyno right around 400 HP... Tune and axle back. 13.41 with just a tune. Haven't run with the new exhaust..

I meant that the Chevy trucks run 14's and beats a cammed ws6. Those are some of the stories on that site. Most run 14's and slower, some in the 13's and claim they murder new 5.0's, SS's, etc.

All good but I was surprised years ago when a Ford Lightning truck spanked my new C5 corvette!! And our shop C5 vetter (700 rwhp) beat a fast bike (NOT a busa). But alll in all pretty accurate rules!

Awesome lol. That will help burn this 24 hour staff duty shift I've got today

Qui3tStorm · 01-21-2012, 12:47 PM

Busa's are overrated, I'd rather run any of the Liter bikes... There really is no comparison with motorcycles, they can be had for 6-8K, out the box the only vs I see are against worked supercars. Then add 2-5K more on a bike nothing is running with them.
