Keep in mind the truck is on 20" wheels, full interior, and a sound system said to have went 8's@150+ on the 20's

No, you haven't. Especially not in a country where your best time is a 13 second pass with 600+rwhp, not where one of the baddest rides around is probably only a 10 second car at a prepped track. That is a friggin 8 second truck.

I do believe the bike would have won if he had not spun, let out to straighten out the bike, then got back on it and spun again and ran that tire spin out. Too be honest I think a lowered stock wheelbase ZX14 is faster then a stretched one on the street due to wheel spin. From my experience, I would guess if that was at the track that the 14 would have ran a 9.4-9.8 1/4 mile.

BTW shorty is a regular on a bike forum I frequent: guy is a riding fool, powering his bike solidly into the mid-high 8's without a power adder or any motor mods or even a air shifter. But the street is a bitch who chooses her favorites quickly and discards the rest with a nasty vengeance!

There's actually a 7 second Vega here.

And when I lived up in the States I saw one ranger in the Houston area that ran low 8s and was the baddest mother ****** I have ever seen.

So yes. I have seen faster.

I dont think Ive ever seen a truck run that strong up top anywhere. Lol, I wonder how it handles at 200mph.. Anyone know the brake setup on that?

Or does anyone know what the setup is at all as far as CI/turbos/trans/weight? RWD correct?
