Default ***Video*** C5 versus BUSA

Enjoy, guys.

As you can see, he took the lead right off the start when the car was on motor only. And that's when I flip on the spray (100 shot) and chase him down. I let it off toward the end of 4th gear after I caught up and about to pass by.

Woah, a Vietnamese dude with a modified Vette. Btw, I used to have a very good friend named Tuan; very nice and decent guy.

I guess it's possible that you hung with 556 rwhp from a high speed roll. I don't think you'd have a chance from 0-100. I don't think you'd have a chance with mine.

Well the vid says is bull at the end. I don't think a C5 can hang with a well driven Busa.

Isn't Busa's 9 sec bike stock?

I've seen videos of a Blown and nitrious Viper getting walked by a stock Busa.

I don't see how a 550 rwhp vette is going to walk that Busa.

^^^ It also heavily depends on the rider as well.

But in the vid, it does claim that the actual race is not too actual afterall. But in the vid, it is an orange Vette, which Tuan Le has. Elaborate, Tuan!!!

At what speed did you start videoing?

Was the busa doing a 6th gear roll, because as far as I can tell, I don't see him shifting at all (left foot or the right shoulder twitching during the shift)?

Also, if he was really on it, I find it odd that the rider never tucked behind the shield until towards the end.

Anyways, good run I guess, but my belief is it was either a 6th gear roll and it means little other than from an entertainment standpoint or if this is the best the busa rider could do, he would get walked by my grandmother on a tricycle...

OK the busa is a 9 sec bike stock, and top end they are monster, i believe they reach somewhere up to 200 stock. I plan on buying one soon, although everyone is telling me to start off with something slower, but I must have the Busa. I'm not sure what to say about the video. What speeds did the race start at?

You will be dead inside of 6 months if you do.
