well it doesnt dump 10oz of oil out the breather for every 1/4 mile pull anymore, and also doesnt have a cracked piston or a blown headgasket anymore plus right now its on more boost then that run, and has cams that allow it to make power all the way to 8000rpm, instead of falling on its face at 6500 ---

well any r6 should be trapping 125+ so my guess is he wasnt racing the bike to its potential. ---

some stats. btw, the roll on times are in 6th gear… hence why they seem so slow.
