Ran into a GSXR600 a couple days ago. Kept pacing each other on the high way, then we both slowed down to about 40. Did a three honk start, and off we went. I insatntly jumped a few lengths on him. Up to about 100, I still held him off, at about 2-2.5 lengths. Shut it down at 130mph, with the same distant. Quite proud of myself for that kill, with my new setup.

Good kill. I’d like to see how you would hold up from a dig.

not really. depends on the rider and what gear he starts off in. shag and I ran i was in 6th at 40mph and we raced he had like 5 cars or so on me but i was gaining on him in higher rpms. so rider could of been in the wrong gear. when i ate that cobra i was in first. when me and chad ran last year i ran him in 5th and it was a close race. its all in hte rider and what gear hes in.

well isn’t that obvious??  
and why would the guy race a cobra in 5th or 6th gear? Its not like blue caught him by surprise. He knew they were gonna race… he would have shifted down.  
and I was talkign to blue… as i told him, i totally agree that rider skill is a HUGE factor in it… and maybe your gear selection theorem may come into mind, but i’d say its hard to accidentally mistake 6th gear for 2nd gear… i can see being off by 1 gear… .maybe 2… but come on… i dont see why the guy wouldnt shift down, KNOWING he was gonna have a race against a super fast car

why would a bike want to loose to a car?? Of course he is going to go balls to the wall. So he doesnt have to go home and tell his friends he got smoked by a cobra
