C5Z cherry broken
Bikes can be beaten on the street if you are on your game and all the stars are aligned. 
I usually don't go looking for bikes to race... as we all know how it USUALLY turns out... but the last guy I raced didn't do so well.
I was on my way home from work and passed a pack of bikes. One of them jumped out in the fast lane behind me and got right on my *** doing a wheelie.
Once a clear spot opened in front of me I took off... and noticed the bike jump over into the slow lane to go around me.
I kept looking for him as I was crushing the gas pedal into the floor... but he never came past. Couldn't find him in the mirror so I stayed in my lane and slowed to a sane speed again. He came up to my pass door and wanted another go at it... so I obliged. Again, he couldn't outrun me.
The third and final try... it was an all or nothing run from 60 on up. We switched lanes and ran again. This time I didn't lift 'till I was approaching 160.
Never saw where he went or how far behind he was... just that he lost.
After I slowed again... he rolled up real close to my door, looked at the fender (looking for Z06/ZR1 emblems I assume) and flipped his shield up to talk. I put my window down and he hollered at me: "Does that have twin turbos or something?... Gave me thumbs up and said: Badass man!"
I have no idea what he was riding, but he was hanging with me every race... just couldn't gain/pass me at all.

Apologies to the OP for hijacking the thread.
Won't argue that... as I have been hanging bottles in my cars since 1988.
I will say however... for my regularly driven C6... the blower has given me much better power and it's always there.
No bottle heaters to deal with and no bottles to open at the last minute or bake under my hatch glass.
Anytime someone gets froggy next to me... I am ready to drop the hammer and go ***** out.
I had a Nitrous Works system on my car when it was NA and 381rwhp. The 150hp jetting would have been the limit for my fuel system and would have only put me at 500-540rwhp.
Before I even got to try the nitrous, I found a blower kit and meth system... which put me 100rwhp beyond what the nitrous could have done for me... and without the headaches associated with it.
I can still pulley-down and add another meth nozzle if I want to make more power... but drivetrain upgrades need to happen before I turn it up any more.
Here's a pic when the nitrous was on the car a short time:

At your power and weight level, you shouldn't have trouble taking out just about any 600 from a 60 roll, especially to the speeds you're talking where they're topped out anyways. A well ridden one might hang briefly, but it's gonna be very brief if at all. A 40 roll from 1st and they'll stay next to you through third gear or so depending on the year and rider skill/weight, but that's about the best anyone on one of these bikes could hope for if you can drive that thing.
Just stab the pedal and point it in the right direction.
Haven't been to the track yet... but it should run 132-135 through the traps and low 10's if it hooks.
Just noticed that. In that case, there's really no reason any 600 should give you much of a fight from any speed. Best case a newer, well ridden one might hang briefly from 1st gear, but that's not gonna last long if at all. Chances are you're just gonna pull most of them right from the hit (as I'm sure you've experienced).
