ill be as fast as an NA 7 with an open diff will be with little mods done to it!
turtle slow?

[DrifterExtreme]

i'm thinking somewhere in the 12's with the s2000 as long as the rear diff hold.....

and the wagon should be solid 14's

[torbs]

if i still have the MR2, low 14's high 13 on street tires...need bout 500 bux in mods (sc14 s/c, 180mm pulley kit, and gruntbox) and cross my fingers the stock clutch holds up...I think it will but you never know...the thing does have 183k miles on it lol. And if time and/or money permits another $400-500 in spending then i may get a JDM LSD trans too...but knowing me idk if i'll still have it this summer lol.

[Afsil80]

16's for you it is.

I need to get the th350 auto done in my car so i don't blow my tranny up with a grenade from being pist as shit the next time i race.

Thats an excellent idea, your car will fly with a well set up auto trans. Just don't hit it with a transbrake and the rear end should hold up.

My car... well it's going to go really stinking fast this year. Faster than Faul anyway.

It's not a car, but, with proper gearing I'd assume the 1000 would be in the mid 190s. Faster than Dave anyway.

Mid 190's?

First- you'd have to find someone else to ride it because I know you are too skeerd to go that fast.

Second - you'll need to be going downhill with a 30 mph tailwind with the HP your bike makes.

Third - "with proper gearing" in my car you'd be a speck in my rearview mirror.

:stirpot:

[2wheeler]

So the question is.....will you put $$$ down that I can't make a GPS run in the 190s?

How long does it take you to install "proper gearing"? I'll need about 20 minutes from the time I'm back in the pits after a 1/4 mile run and I'll be ready.

How do you put new gearing in a bike that fast?

Also not a car, but i'm hoping for 12's on the SV. Anything faster and its too hard to hangon lol

1. Put the bike on a rear stand.
2. Loosen chain.
3. Pull rear axle.
4. Remove/replace 5 nuts and your rear sprocket is changed. Its quicker if you have a spare sprocket carrier with the new sprocket mounted, then you just swap carriers.
5. Loosen left fairing.
6. Pull counter sprocket cover off.
7. Put bike in gear.
8. Remove replace counter sprocket nut and front sprocket is changed.
9. Replace rear wheel/chain/counter sprocket cover.
10. Tighten chain.
11. Tighten axle nut.

If you have all the tools in front of you and are really trying to move quickly....takes bout 20 minutes.

Between trying to jam gears and waiting a 1/2 hr for boost between shifts i am done with the 5-speed............ I'd do a dogbox, but $$$$

True.....

Bikes are a brick in the wind............

I have even done a full 5th pull till hard rev cut and the math works out to 205 mph........... this was on the new US 12 so i didn't die

The quote was mid-190's so lets just round it off to an even 195mph on the GPS. I'll def put the $$ down... I just hope we can capture the event on video so we can see the urine running out of the pant leg of your leathers as you get anywhere near 180, much less 195. :icon_cheers:

I'm not really sure that it matters how long it would take me to change gearing. I can run top speed gearing at the drag strip and still run quicker than your bike when it has 1/4 mile gearing in it.:stirpot::stirpot::stirpot:

Yes, bikes are a brick in the wind. lol Thats why they are all electronically limited to 184 MPH. Thats why the '99-00 Busa can pull 196MPH out of the box due to no speed limiter.

How fast to average cars go out of the box? (No BS $250,000 cars now.)

lol...."the math"....lol

What do you own that can do 205?(I'm assuming you're talking about your 7?)

What is a "full 5th pull"? Are you talking about on a dyno?

lol i thought you were talking about redoing the whole tranny gearing, didn't even think of that.

Look at the drag coefficient of a bike once......... it is not very good

It should do 200mph even with a shit DC cuz what is the power:weight??

Ill bet your bike than my car will do 200+ on 15psi, bring the GPS and come for a ride if you aren't scared........

.719 5th ratio
4.11 rear ratio
275/45/17 tires
7500 rpm limit............
do the math

I have hit the limiter twice in 5th gear.......... dont believe me? bring your GPS and your title..........

Since you think you are so funny...........

here is a link to help you out since math > you

[Grr]

word, i completely beleive it. Hell my GTO did 189 with only 363whp, i would hope you can do at least that with as much power and a solid 1000lbs less weight! (BTW, i own a x-band radar gun, so yes, it was accurate)

lets see
.84 5th gear
3.46 rear
245/45-17 tire
7190rpm

According to the calculator, 7000rpm is 184, and 7500 is 197, so id say i am correct
zac>me though

[2wheeler]

Ok Zac, calm down, I will bow down to your "ballerness".

No, I won't bet my bike. (I'm assuming if I would I get your 7? Unfortunately, I don't want your 7.) Like I hinted at above, I do not "ball" like you.

I will, however do a cash wager on your car's 200 MPH run. The wager will be a number we agree on. If you tell me that you won't do it for less than $X, then I will take that as you buying your way out of the bet. I will make sure that it pays for your time and gas.

I will be in the car. Do you have a datalogger for your boost?

I'm excited to see you run 200.

[ruthless351]

I hope to run mid to high13's with the new goodies on the stang. We shall see though.

Hopefully your car will at least run 8's....that's so last year.

Both our cars will stink....like popcorn.

Ethan....remember to make sure you pick a road that's wide enough to fit two cars and your bike on your 195 attempt. We'll make sure to stay ahead so your urnine that is coming out of your leathers pant leg won't get on our tires and make us crash.
