Default My Busa vs 03 Cobra

My new boss just got stationed up here in Alaska from Texas and we got to talking about our cars. He has a 03 cobra with full bolt ons and a 150 shot putting down 520 hp to the ground. My 02 Z28 is really no match for the Puss-tage yet with only 350 hp tp the ground! I told him about my 05 Busa and he wants a shot at it. I bet him $200 that he couldnt take me. What do you guys think?

strap down the front end, and walk all over him, i myself have an 04 limited edition twin turbo busa (just got back from MMI in orlando florida). With the front strapped down. assuming u dont spin that bike is very capable of mid to low 9's with a decent rider, with a good rider 8's arent too hard, is the bike stock?

You'll destroy him no problem. His only chance would be from a high speed roll and even then it won't be close if you don't misshift.

So let me get this straight...your Camaro is too slow, so you want to race him with a bike? Yeah...that makes sense.
And he's lying if he says it's making 520rwhp with "full bolt-ons" and a 150 shot. I'd be fairly certain it's making quite a bit more than that.

Are you kidding me man? 520 hp w/ full bolt-ons and a 150-shot? I put down 512 hp before I spray my 125-shot on just the blower. But anyways, you should destroy him with your Busa man. Busa's are extremely tough bikes to beat. Let us know how it turns out. Take it easy.

He's probably making around 700rwhp.

Are you serious about this post? If you really run high 8's at 166mph, you're
just wasting our time.

Dude, you are gonna stomp a mud hole in his ***. Dont even sweat it. Dont get too cocky and do something stupid though. One little mistake could mean him just blowing by you.

I bet that cobra runs mid/low 8's.

Since your bike runs high 8's, I think it will be a good run...BUT I think you might pass him on the top end. I think he might spin a little, so on the street he's probably running closer to low/mid 9's, where your bike should still be running high 8's.

and as for your bike runnng an 8.984..... i really really doubt that (if its stock). yea the magazines say that... they also say my bike runs a 9.2 stock, and have yet to see ANY stock R1 get below a 10. im not tryin to sharp shoot you, but this sounds like a cheesy story from the beginning.

As long as you don't screw up, you should destroy him. Are you gonna be going from a dig or a roll?

And there is no way that Cobra is running 8's

Theres no way a stock busa will run 8's. The bike will win unless hes lieing to you about his mods to get him to race you.

What, you don't think the cobra could run 8's?? BONESTOCK 03/4 cobra's run 9's, so 8's isn't a stretch. I trapped 141 bonestock, I would imagine, with 300more rwhp I could probably trap 171.

You raise a good point there Steve. You are running NAWSSSS so I'm
thinking 170mph traps shouldn't be too big of a problem.

I'm thinking about calling out this 9yo girl down the block. She's got
a big wheel that's making a lot of noise around town. I think I can take her.
