Beans beater bike vs LS1 and 545i/6 (GoPro Vids)
I met up with member BlackGasGuzzler (03Base on another forum) to do a few fun runs with his Camaro and a 545i/6. His Camaro runs very well, and with a few more upgrades and a retune it's going to be bruising many egos on the street. The 545i is a stock 6-speed.
My over-sized dirt bike was bought for cheap with a seized motor, so it was rebuilt with a high compression motor and a mild cam. It's decently quick 0-60, gets 50-55mpg, and makes my traffic laden commute a lot more fun. With an exhaust, some carb work and a good street tire it should gain 15-20% and be much more fun to whip around city streets...so that'll be my summer beater/commuter bike for awhile.
Enjoy the vid!

Power wise, just the basics. Car made 350whp on a dynojet, should be closer to 380 with the upgrades that are in progress now.
Thanks.
The bike is def fun. When i get it setup the way i want it, it's going to be a blast around town.
As for the 545i owner thinking it was only 3-4 car lengths, i don't know what to say, the vid speaks for itself.

That wasn't even a race, guy should have known better. LS1 Fbodies are gonna destroy any BMW except for maybe a M5 over 100mph. Especially those 35 series engines that seem to run out of steam around 100mph.
