The fact that any of us have seen a bike beat by a car with less than 600 or 700hp proves that some riders are better than others. I mean, half the STI owners I’ve seen at the track are lucky to get under 2.0 60’, but the car is capable of a 1.6 or 1.7. Why would anyone expect bikes to be different? > > Now if Darkstar rode a 600cc bike, the power to weight ratios would be much closer and everything would be different.

My boy has a new R6, you wanna run? Dig or roll, I can’t see you winning. And I didn’t read much of the 4 previous pages, but yes there is some skill to riding balls out in a straight line on a bike. From a dig or roll. A lot of riders are scared to go full throttle in 1st or even 2nd. And they also clutch when they shift. Fail. ---

A lot of riders are scared to go full throttle in 1st or even 2nd. And they also clutch when they shift. Fail. I’d like to sometime soon. I need to work on getting the car to pass an enhanced vehicle inspection… right now I don’t have stickers on it. I have to reroute the full line, bunch of other misc. crap. As soon as I get stickers on the thing i’d be down for running from a roll. I’m not going from a dig mainly because my rear end is stock, only thing left stock on the car. On top of that I have a race logic traction control system so I just don’t break the tires loose and relieve the stress of the drivetrain. I’ve yet to decide of I want to upgrade the stock IRS or put in an 03 Cobra IRS. I remember I raced an older R6 that my one friend had back when I still had my supercharged mustang. He pulled on me but it wasn’t that ugly. He bought a R1 and then it was just disgusting… but my mustang doesn’t hold a candle to the rx7. ---

I’m not doubting that your car is fast. But the trap speeds of a newer 600 should still be able to hold you off from a roll. ---

agreed. cool vids btw. the car with the camera in it rips. thats an old R6 tho (atleast 5 years old) not that it makes a huge difference, but just sayin. the newer ones make more power. ---

Lots of false assumptions. Sorry to offend you with the weight thing, I fixed the original post. Drag is negligible at 50mph. That’s why the 0-100-0 test has replaced 0-60-0. Newsflash…still comes down to trying it, grow a pair and do it. It’s quite entertaining that you know exactly how much your car weighs, exactly how much dyno HP you have, but no idea how it performs. ---

Well he did just finish building it and did most of the work himself. I would assume he knows that specs on the car, but it is very understandable that he doesn’t know how it performs since it has only been completed for a few weeks now. ---

Here is the build thread 90tsi: [http://pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42665](http://pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42665) Also I saw the last video r6 vs. ls6 rx7.
