ford taurus > yamaha R6

so true.

a time ? we already have a time. its the fastest taurus in the 1/4 mile thats known. it even beats the 600+ hp mtx vortech / paxton cars

:slight_smile:

12.79, on a blow headgasket, a cracked piston, a trans that wouldnt shift right, and an ecu that pulls timing on lauch

well if it beat that r6 than it must be faster than that

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

this is the catch can from alex’s 12.79 @108 run:

nice Alex :tup:

yeah that would be me. you would never guess right? at least I shut it off to order :grouphug:

nice kill. I ran an 11.01 @ 127 on my old 2004 r6 with just a slip on so your car must FLY.

Damn, I need to get another ride in this now :eek:

did you ever ride in it? I don’t remember.

i would like to give this tauras a shot…

Yeah, I went with you to that storage yard where your Saturn was off Union a few years back

i would hate to lose to a ford taurus

hm, so you have a 10 second taurus?

hm, so your saying cars that are great for highway pulls all run 10 second 1/4 mile times ?

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.

Id totally believe an r6 in 6th gear at 40 would get smoked to 100 by even a camry.

                       ......................1/4..................60-80...80-100... top speed.
