    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.

    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 $$$$

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

    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

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

      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:

      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. :stirpot:

      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?

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

          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..........

                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

                  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.

                    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
                    Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
                    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
                    Torque is how far you take the wall with you

                                    Its alight.... jealousy is a human characteristic ..... i wouldn't want you too look good driving something. Id rather see you look like a homo overweight on your rocket trying to impress people with an engine strapped between your legs

                                    Hmm lets see..... I have a full standalone..... nope no way to datalog

                                    I dont want you to piss yourself on my seat

                                    you know what i have never met you before but god damn you are so damn full of yourself it's not funny. this is forum not a bash every person who doesnt have the same views as you forum.Who are you???? sure you have a fast car...thats it. no one bashes you on here for having an ugly ass car.although i bet people think your car is ugly...just like im sure people dont agree with my car...most people with decency keep those negative opinions to themselves...why dont you try that instead of making an ass out of yourself everytime you talk directly to someone.

                                        I am glad i got you so worked up, that is what i was going for.........

                                        Its the internet, and i love having the ability to say what i want to get the reaction i want, just like i did from you

                                        So settle, its the internet, I am glad you think about me so much 🙂 Don't get butthurt over this............

                                        my car is not my life, it is a hobby, just like posting on a public form to get some feathers ruffled is........ Its how i get off when your mom is not around 🙂

                                        In real life i am one of the nicest guys you will meet,

                                        I dont believe i have met you in real life but i picture you as a short fatty who got picked on his whole life.... no??

                                          Zach you are an asshole. LOL. That's probably what I like the most about ya.

                                          To everybody else..... Don't even get worked up over Zach here. Getting people razzed up on here gives him something to rub one off to.
