You run 11.3@120 with a ProCharger, cam, meth, and stall? I'd be pissed! My 4,000lb family car runs 11.3@120 NA on the stock motor and I get my *** handed to me by imports around here... my buddies driveway built VW runs 10.0@150+ on the stock motor and thats not even the fast cars.

same thing i'm thinking. dude from south ga doesn't speak for us all. Plenty of fast imports. But lots of slow bikes apparently.

A few grand in mods and you can really **** off some bike guys


we need to meet up so you can give me pointers on my car



now then, no mods on my car cuz im in college. i make 7.35 and now they are bitching about us not breaking 30hrs at work. im part time so now we are not supposed to break 30hrs. >.>

so every week i get about 150-190 bucks. hell last week i got a check for 126

the only mods i can get right now are insurance, car payment and premium gas

anyway my plans are: full exhaust redo w/true duals, new springs and some SFCs, 3.73s, level 4 trans, new(sticky) tires and rims, fix my gauges, tint, repaint(red or black), shave off weight, maybe one day SC or TC

wait...you have basically a stock car and youre complaining about getting *** raped by a bike??? lmao

I love it when this topic comes up and you hear people say," i can hang with 1000cc bikes blah blah blah". really? anyone can "hang" with anything for a few seconds untill the bike gets in its power band....than its lights out. if you can "hang" with a liter bike than you're right there next to him watching the rider next to you the entire race....thats what i would consider hanging. if you're seeing a small tail light...than your losing and just dont have enough..plain and simple.

you'll need about 850rwhp to even come close to a liter bike...so start saving your pennies...

Don't feel bad it happens all the time.
Power to weight ratio is the ticket and it takes a lot less dollars to get a bike to run off quick than a car.
I have a Lambo and some new vets in my town.
I have all sorts of fun with them when I'm on my Fatboy.
They don't even try anymore. LOL
One important thing though, and F body with some work done to it will grab more women than any bike and THAT is worth more than any bike mod...LOL

I've only seen one car take a 1000cc bike and it was PurEvl's.....he had more money in that car then most people and it dyno'd something like 860 rwhp 880 rwtq.

It's common sense....think of the weight to hp ratio and the bikes are light years ahead of cars. Then you get the people who mod their ZX-14, Busa and 1000cc bikes....lights out.

Pacesetter LT's and a loudmouth aint gonna cut it. If you havent dumped near 30,000.00 into your car it aint gonna cut it. I remember seeing some Viper that had a larger motor (somewhere around 8.xx liters), twin turbo and all kinds of other crap just barely beating a lightly modded Busa. Keep dreaming or open your wallet.

yeah i was running 11.3's back when i was still on my stock 10 bolt rear with 3.23 gears..not the ideal drag ger for my setup as well as i had to be a lil easy on my lauch so i would'nt break my rear..but now i have a Moser 12 bolt with 3.90 gears..it will be a whole nother animal at the track next time i run it..the 11.3 was with fuel pressure issues as well it has since been fixed..i should be 10's now..but i'm not gona sign my name to that statement just yet until i actually run it..BTW..i'm still running stock untouched 853 heads (the crappy ones out the whole stock LS1 head bunch)..so i thought my 11.3 was pretty good..it was enough to make me beat alot of GSXR 600's and hang with some 1000cc bikes as well..in the 1/4th anyways..they easily pull away on the interstate..BTW i bet you buddy's built 10.0 VW is'nt no daily driver street car that he takes his kids to school in now is it?..does it have A/C?..probally not..my car has EVERYTHING still in it fully fuctional daily driver wich is what i do with it..i know there are some fast *** cars out there..but half of them are shitty DD or street cars...having registration and lights does'nt make it a street car in my book

Nick V.- We could do that sometime, man. If you want, check out www.eastcoastdomestics.com . A bunch of REALLY cool guys over there. It's a small community, but everyone that posts is pretty active on it. We're doing a cruise this Sunday from VA beach to Newport News, then out by Yorktown, catching the ferry, and coming back through Surry.

*** far as stock liter bikes being super-badass- yeah, the bikes are. Most riders here-not so much. If they don't know how to ride, chances are I can keep up pretty good. If they're on a 600, I usually pull away.


iLoveChevy1... you'd be surprised what some people will DD. My Camaro has 4.10's, dumped x pipe, 4000 stall, no heat or AC, ect, and it's my only working car ATM. Most wouldn't consider it a daily, and it's not even technically legal.

Yes actually full interior with exception of drivers seat and the 10pt cage. Most of the fast cars blend in around here looking fairly stock. They don't have fast and furious body kits or wings, not even loud exhausts. My friend put three mufflers on his Audi to cover up the 700hp so it sounds stock until the wastegates open.

Saw this coming a mile away.

I'm assuming we are talking rolls since this is abortion street racing and that's what most do.
An 11 second fbody will get skull ******* by a properly driven 600 from a 20-45mph roll, period.
It would take a 130+mph car to run with one.. And from first gear, the bike would still get the jump.

From a dig, though? Flat-out isn't going to happen without some serious tire and a ridiculous suspension setup.
Lol.. Well built? I guess if well built is 800+whp, sure.

Liter bikes trap 140-145 on the low end.. Few extremely small mods... Ie intake tune etc and they are 150+mph with absolutely stupid first gears.

You destroyed liter bikes? How much power? Weight? With a decent rider in a 2500# car it would take give or take 750whp to run with a liter bike, not destroy it.


Anybody can beat a squid on a rocket... Put a good rider on there and prepare to get your dick smashed in the dirt.

600whp to take a stock 600 from 1st gear..500whp to take them from a 2nd gear roll. And I'm talking their first and second, not a cars.

i agree any of you guys talking your pulling 600s and what not is bs, or you found a guy with temp tags, to even mess with bikes you have to have a very well put together ride, even 600s, can a bike be beat yes, but bolt ons etc, is not going to get it done,

ONE.

I specified that most around here don't know how to ride. It's not what ya got. It's what you can do with it. And I never said anything about DESTROYING liter bikes in my car.


TWO. I spray, when the mood strikes me. I cheat

THREE. WRONG. Your basic stripper CRX/ EF hatch with a boosted K20 running on E85 has about the same power/weight ratio as a liter bike. They can't launch for ****, but from a roll they're boss.

Power to weight has little to do with it.

Why would a six speed have 323s?

Smash bikes? A liter bike would still make it look stupid. 600 would put up a fight but fall off after 110 or so.

Power to weight is the REASON bikes are fast.

Not trying to be disrespectful, lemons... But you're wrong. Yeah, bikes are fast... But it's not all that hard to make a car faster.
