If 2nd gear vs the bike was eliminated, the zip up to 102 would've made the kill on the bike more justifiable!

Bikes just zip from 0-100 or 50-60 up to 130-140... if the bike was forced to start in 3rd at 80-90 I wouldn't be suprised if you hung or gradually pulled on him at higher speeds... That or you killed a inexperienced rider!

Have you topped your S2000 out?!

Nice S!

This doesn't make sense to me.Eclipse with 4 people in it walk 600cc bike then you race the Eclipse(with you top down) and both you are neck and neck(i think if you have your top up you would of pull lil bit).Back to the Esclipe with 400lbs. plus in the car and i am asume when you ran him he was alone,correct?If so he should walk you.

I am not calling you story BS,nice run!
Thank you, There was definatly 400+lbs in the car, and i have no idea if the rider was a beginner or not, i just thought everyone would enjoy the story. I am going to run with the eclipse on sunday again, but i will have the top up....

Cool!On the street anything can happen you know.I once witness a Toyota Matrix
Smoke Camero SS not once,but twice up to about 80mph.This dude in the Matrix
could drive too.I was in dis-believe myself.

Be-safe and let us know how you do this time.I think you should pull lil bit.

Are you racing him from stop or roll?

Later,

From a stop he kills me because of the all wheel drive, from a roll we were dead even, however i will give it a shot both ways with him again. This time I will have my V-AFC hooked up, and I may have my new Veilside Titanium Exhaust.

Well, all I was saying is that it doesn't matter if the Eclipse had the biggest turbo in the world, if it could only keep up with your 13-second car, then it's still only 13 seconds. That's still a huge difference from a 600cc sports bike from any speed. Now, add 600+ lbs to the car and it'll become at least 14+ seconds, and that's even a bigger difference than before.

However, I'm not arguing with your story. Good run with the 'Clipse. Hope you could get it on vid. Turbo cars are always crazy when modified.

I'm with Yella on this one, a stock Gixxer 600 is at least a low 12 sec bike with a shitty driver. I like you're car, just not the wheels.
