Oh and lol at the stock ls1 beating it.

Considering it takes a very very very good driver to run a 'busa to its full potential in the 1/4 mile. Being a split second off on shifts can cost you quite a bit. *(that's why I go auto FTW)*

I could not believe this so we had to race a few times. First time was from a 3rd gear roll at 3000 rpms(i should have been in second), he immediatly pulled 4 cars on me and thats were he stayed up to 170mph or so. This was the fastest ive ever been in a car and was scarred to death lol. The second race was from a 1st gear roll at about 4500rpms. He put about 3 cars on me this time and stayed there up to 140mph, didnt have any want to go faster lol. Finally we decided to go from a stop and i got the jump on him, but he still but 2 cars on me and stayed there.

I was running 11.50 wide et streets and stock rims all around. I would spin all the way through 3rd gear. I can't beleive the stock 3.23 ten bolt is still holding up. I know if i could get some better traction i would be atleast even if not in front of him. Overall it was the great losing to one of the fastest production bikes by only a few cars. I cant wait to race a 600 or 750 rocket lol.

Oh and if you want to call me stupid for going this fast on the road, we were only endangering ourselves as the roads were deserted. We had a friend go a few miles down the road to make sure nobody was coming. And ya i already know im stupid for going that fast.
