Default 1999 SS vs. 2000 ZX6R

Ok i have this guy at work who is cocky as hell, and he cant stand that i have a faster car than him, so hes going to buy a bike. Its 2000 ZX6R. Both of us only weigh like 130lbs. My car is a M6 with a catback and cold air intake, and a 90 wet shot. The bike only has a slip on pipe. Can i beat him?

I think you can take him from a high roll but not from a dig

Here we go again...

The 2000 ZX6R is fast, but not like the 2003+ Supersport 600's. It makes right at 90-97 rwhp and tend to run low 12's to high 11's with a 150ish top speed. I owned on from new/stock to 26,000 miles/modded.

My prediction is from a low speed roll is you wll catch him at about 80ish or so and pull him from there. I raced a 2000 ZX6E which was the model under the R and is about 10 less and pulled him pretty bad.

This bike will be a easier bike for a LS1 as they do not make th power that the 2003+ supersport 600's make.

Is this the part where all the 600+ hp Ls1 guys list all the bikes they've killed with "boltons" ???

OR , is this where the experts explain how bikes hit an air barrier at 100 mph and stop ???

once again, Sneakyws6.....very nice answer.....

I know bikes and cars shouldnt be racing, because they are in 2 different leagues. He just thinks that since its a crotch rocket that he is faster....

this kinda thread has already been started and will only end up in people because they dont understand. you need a lot of power to beat any newer 600(assuming the rider is half-way decent)...... i could barely hang with R6's without my cam and i made 470rwhp, with cam, im not sure......

Sounds like he has no experience with bikes, race him from a dig. He won't be able to launch. With your mods, you won't beat the bike but I think you can get the rider easy.

Else, race from a high roll. Speeds in the 100's tend to show their weakness. Good luck.

600's are hard to launch from a dead start.you have to take off at about 10,000 to launch good.you should be able to beat him from a dead start but he will catch you. 600's go high 10s in 1/4 and top out around 158mph. i had a 03 600rr and went 11.50@121 and it was hard to get out of the hole and im a pretty good rider.

Get a cam and double the shot of spray, a couple of runs and you will shut him up REAL quick

Really! what mods did you have? my friend has a 2003 600RR and he weighs about 250lbs and went 12.2 in the 1/4 with a couple of bolt ons, but hes launch wasnt that good. And i know that my car can run a 12.2, so i was thinking we would be close since its a older bike with a unexperienced driver.

I was thinking about about putting a 125 shot pill, just to race him.

Here is what you do. Tell him you will race him, but he must start a few feet directly in front of your car if he thinks his bike is so fast. Put the pressure on him. I scared off a a GSXR by doing that. Off course I was kidding but he didn't know that.

Inexperienced driver + crock rocket......It will just be a matter of time before he wraps the bike round a pole. Trust me...
