That truck runs 8's in the quarter, so regardless a bolt-on ZX-14 would have its hands full either way. My money's on the truck!

It didn't look like that GC did too bad when they crossed the finish line.

Plenty of bolton zx14's are in the 8's in the 1/4 mile, and in the mid to low 5's in the 1/8 mile: my money is on the bike, but maybe I'm prejudiced!

It's a hundred times easier to get a bike to hook on the street versus a truck. what you saw in this video was a fluke: that bike is mid 8's bike that 'should have' holeshot the hell out of him and should be trapping mid 150's in the 1/4.

Let's face facts: that rider lost that race. He's a very experienced rider who would not make that mistake twice-- Which is why you did not see a second re-run: the truck owner took that win to the bank and is in no hurry to give back the win.

I could already hear the BS and "Husslin"...."it's a stock 4.8"

I'm aware of this. Keywords: "Have his hands full". And I believe the truck traps in the mid 150's.

My money is still on the LSX truck.

Goddamn that truck is pure rape! As for the argument that the bike should have hole shot him. Keep in mind that that street in Compton is prepped better than alot of dragstrips.

They're all seriously bad ***, but I was standing outside work yesterday just off the highway and heard this crazy loud jet-like sound and then saw the RD shoot by. That thing is ***** out.

Capability might lie with the bike, but that truck is going to be a consistent bad ***! The truck is cooler, just check the posts (it's just more impressive imo)...Not knocking the bike though .

Does anyone know the trucks setup?

Also I have to agree with sticks n stones, I think if the bike hooked up it would immediately get in front, it wont put busses on the truck but then again I doubt the truck could gain back back whatever it lost in the beginning.
