Sounds good. I'll hit 60 on my speedo in about .02 seconds.
Actually, if you want to race like that it might be interesting.
yeah it would, then id get the shit scared outt me when you just fly past me -
actually, my bike is one of those big engined sport touring types, you know, it only has 5 gears and a ton of torque (for a bike, lol) it'll hit 60 in 1st gear, which is about 2.9 secs, even for a crappy rider like myself. I think magazine tests back in the day were somewhere in the 2.6 to 2.7 range, and Ive got the typical ignition advancer, jet kit, exhaust, you know shit like that.
60MPH on up? yeah, til about 140 or so. I REALLY do not like going 140+ on 2 wheels. spilled @ 70mph when I was 17, that was bad enough. Damn high speed wobbles and old shitty bikes, HA ha!

McAdam: What bike do you ride?

Maybe, just for kicks some time, it would be fun! Of course, I would have to race you with the RF900, lol! Unless you can find me a set of Jolly Moto tuned pipes for my water buffalo, then that would be fun also..... two strokes, you know them and exhaust systems....

No, but generally when you go to the extent that these fine folks have with your ride, you have a helluva lot more than just some more ponies under the hood. 540fwhp teggy and a 970rwhp supra? you KNOW they have done more work to their cars than almost eveyone on this board collectively. HP is not everything. this kind of goes back to my decal thread. Someone thinks they are hot shit because they can slap a boost controller on thier car and up the boost or just put a bigger turbo on it.The RB25DET in the S14 has a bigger FMIC, a boost controller and just bolt ons, its not that high in HP, but its stil one of the nices cars Ive ever seen. This guy is so dedicated to his ride that he keeps his OLD KA around to swap back in every 2 years so he can pass emissions and keep his ride.
USUALLY the people with the faster cars dont come in here and start braggin. You never see Dave start a thread saying "your new highway king is crowned" or the teggy guy (sorry, dont remember names, something to do with beer killing brain cells) making posts like that, you know what Im saying?
McAdam
p.s. Dave IS a legend, he is nationally known. TONS of ppl in the scene in phx know who he is, lol
So what would you say that s14 ran with the rb???
you know, by your butt dyno....??
