Me and a couple buddies went on a decent size car cruise downtown. Usually if someone tries to egg me on and I know I will win, I don't waste the gas. But the whole night a buddie of mine with a newer CBR 929 kept telling me to race the bike. I kept saying no. I honestly assumed he would rape me. On the highway around 1:30am he did a flyby pass me so I am like what the hell why not. If I loose I loose. So we line up, 40MPH roll. I have him honk. I start break boosting and I feel the car wanting to take off! Honk....honk....honk....he takes off, he has about a 2 and a half car lead on me. I top out second shift into third and I start catching up. I shift into 4th and I pass him. Once I passed him he let off. I thought something happened so I slowed down to see whats up. He said he missed a gear . We run 2 more times and it was the same outcome everytime I would pass him after 4th. Once we all arrived to the musuem, his excuse was his front end was lifting up. But my friends were watching and said his front end never came up . I think he was just mad he lost to my 4 wheel crotch rocker )))

Wow, that's pretty awesome! Do you daily drive your car, and if so, how streetable is it? Build thread on it?

It is my summer daily, I do not have any problems with it. Granted it just takes a little more TLC then usual.With all the added HP you have to make sure your on top of maintance, Dont bang 1st to 2nd!

No sorry no build thread but Here are a couple photos of the car

Nice one, sounds like he is a little butt hurt but our short gearing and high rev's bring surprises to alot of people!

a 1000cc bike losing to a car, yea i highly doubt that. He probably doesn't know how to ride or might have gotten scared at those speeds...

JDMBLINDIAN

those were exactly my thoughts until I raced him. And it's not that uncommon for cars to beat litre bikes. depends what done to them.

s2000maniac

lol nvm you are making about 5-6 HP per 100 lbs and he is making about 3.5 HP per 100 lbs. so yea it makes sense that you beat him.

Those numbers make no sense

its called weight to power ratio. A 2900 lb car with 500hp will have a wight to power ratio of 5.8lbs per hp. I have no idea how much power or weight the bike has. so i cant comment on that (and I have no idea how s2000maniac got his figures.) :shrug;
