325 vs r6

[thedude]

I was going to work early today, so few cars on the road. arrived at the stop light beside an r6. I kept the engine idle till the last second, so i could suprise him. my hard launch kept even with his normal acceleration. we were even for about the length of the intersection. in the 2nd-3rd second he accelerated to 2 car lengths ahead. in the 6th second he was about 1 city block away. before i could count to 10, he was dissapearing over the horizon. the r6 rider was my manager. had a little laugh when i got back to work.

Closer to 4, but anyways, from a dig, no contest, spec on the horizon, but a 60-80 mph roll on, an e39 M5 with some breathing upgrades :devillook or a heavily modded m3 (something requiring a wastegate :devillook) will take it. 600s fall off after 100mph, and by 140 they have not much left.:)

Actually you might want to ride one before you start throwing shots like that. (:

While this isn't a street bike my HRC 250RS when I would race my dad would take him off the line, and it wasn't until the high 160's that he would actually start catching up. The 600 4-bangers are very strong, 160 was very easy for me to accomplish on mine. 0 - 60 on a Honda CBR 600RR is 2.6 sec. :eyecrazy

I love you sig pic MGreg btw.

Just sharing some knowledge. . .

:D

[marktavious]

anything with a redline of 16,000 should not be reckoned with, period :nono

[thedude]

umm....15,500

Rode plenty of bikes, don't own one anymore, most of my friends own bikes:) I know right off the bat there's nothing that can touch it, hell hitting 100mph in second gear (for a 600) is no joke, I meant that highly tuned cars will put up a great fight at speeds OVER 100 or so, bikes still pull strong, but lets say a turboed M might actually take it:) The reason I mentioned the M5 is because with headers and cats (biggest bottleneck in the e39 exhaust) add around 30 whp, that plus software (mainly to remove the limiter) will make the car a monster at over 100mph - and it will top out at over 180:)

Oh and the 4 sec 0-60 - I meant what most riders are capable of, you know what the magazines state, but you also know that more than half of the riders can't match that.:)

[marktavious]

totally agree, just sold my r6 last night :( , sad day for me but good day for him :D , i'm not a spec wizard, just know that anything that has enough power to move a semi in neutral that can be picked up by two people isn't something that should be raced on public roads.

I remember when the R1's first came out (2000?) that I thought I was a bada** at about 120 mph one night in my old e36 M when this leather clad guy toyed with me on the expressway. Curves or straightaways, it did not matter, I couldn't touch him. It was actually very impressive. This guy could ride. I also at the time owned a sport bike ( '97 GSXR), and was still taken back. This was 5 years ago and bikes have come a long way in that time, so I can probabally guess that today's 600 is equvilant to '00 liter bikes, meaning anything short of a serious 1/4 miler doesn't stand a chance, reguardless of who's riding it.

[giterdone]

yeah I think the new R1's are what, 160hp? or is it 180? I mean it is something that is light as hell and has more power than most ricers do. :)
