My 2001 Z28 on bottle vs. 1998 GSX-R 750 with a 30 shot cruisin out to meet some buddies with the ball and chain, and a bike comes up next to me and tucks down 
Sweet, he wants to play....
We go from a 1st gear roll (didn't see the speed), and I put at least 4 cars on him up to 130mph ish redlining 4th gear
. The start was dead even.
He pulls up next to me again and yells holy ****! He fiddles with his bike for a second, tucks again, and takes off. He had a 2 car lead before I hit it from 50mph in 2nd gear, and by 120ish I was neck and neck with him and pulled past him by about a car to 135ish.
After we raced, we were stopped at a light. He told me he had a 1998 GSX-R 750cc....and that our first race he went on motor, but the 2nd race he was spraying a 30 shot
I was spraying a 100 shot both races
.....I'm sure that helped a little bit 
Great race, but I didn't think I would have been able to pull him like I did, especially on bottle. He should have hosed me. He was impressed, I was impressed, and even the woman was impressed, and she hates it when I race. Oh, and I purged right before the race and she said WTF was that?!?!?! I told her it was my new crankcase pressure reliever
.
Stats on the car: I had my g/f in the car (who was yelling at me during the entire race ), and my car is not tuned on motor or bottle.....it's running really rich in general. I did pull 6 degrees of timing w/ my new timing tuner however
