Default 99 Z-28 vs ZX-6R

First off let me start off by saying I DO NOT GIVE A F*CK WHETHER YOU BELIEVE THIS OR NOT!

Second, I own a bike, am well educated on what bikes run and I admit that the bike could beat me.

However, that does not mean the rider can beat me.


Now that we have that out of the way. I raced a ZX-6R from a dig with the 99 + mods in my sig. All Motor

He launched veeerrryyy soft and rolled into it.

Funny thing is I put probably 6-8 cars on him out of the hole and he never gained it back.

I fully expected him to come charging by or at least start pulling hard on me but it never happened.

I told the guy to practice and I'm sure he could eventually beat me N/A at least. He is not a noob rider but a noob to launching hard beside a car on the street.

my 2008 gsxr-600 ran a 10.9 @ 126 stock... that same day at the track a guy had a 2008 gsxr-750......he ran a 12.2 @ 127. IMO the 750 SHOULD have ran a 10.5 or better.

Good kill the the OP, the rider willl make or break a bike in a drag race.

Do you know what your car runs gregrob?

Should go 13.50's pretty easy at our altitude... ( mid / low 12's at sea level)

My buddies Cobalt goes 13.8 with a ridiculous 60ft and I get him by 2 cars at least.

Newer 600s with a good rider up here go high 12's.

This makes no sense even at altitude.

Anyway, good job beating a newb rider

If you can't run a 10 or atleast low 11 on a newer 600, yet think you are a good rider. Please put down the keys.

Come up here and watch. Nobody understands what our altitude does to an engine.

7500 DA is average for us and I've seen it above 10K on a hot summer day. The damn things barely have enough air to run.

I can see it happen. I raced a SV1000 and won just because the guy could not ride he stalled it at a green light and then could not shift. I was in the 02 GT.......

Fair enough, but if your altitude makes a 600 run high 12s, you should barely break into the 14s with a bolt on LS1. Either way, good kill on the rider!

Bolt on LS1s run low 14s routinely up here, some quicker but not usually.
