Remember all that Supra ish?

Looks like a local stepped up!

We tried running late last year but he had some technical issues he had to iron out. He said he's ready to rock, last we spoke about 700+ RWHP...needless to say he'll get a non-nitrous pass and maybe I'll offer up the hit too if I'm feeling generous.

Don't wanna count them chickens yet, but he got in touch with ME months later, not vice versa.

CameraS should be rolling. If ya'll don't hear from me by next week, someone come bail me out!

lol, cool. at least you can find cars that will step up. around here i'm constantly hearing about "bullet bike killers" but have yet to see one in person, or find one that doesn't disappear when you try to go looking for them.

sounds like you should have a lot of fun embarassing the supra. poor guy.

it takes about 600rwhp just to hang with a 600cc bike. if the supras only at 700 it doesn't stand a chance in hell

He's claiming 800 RWHP.

But it takes a lot to beat a 120 lb rider w/a 465 lb zx12....willing to stay in it for 20 miles if need be....on spray no less.

What a F&$^ing AMAZING NIGHT!



The supra got faster and faster as the night progressed....32 pounds of boost on race gas!



roll-ons from 45 and I was ghost....



roll-ons from 70 I'd let him move a little....then WOT



Holy fack....I would only slowly walk away! Spraying ... well helped but also made it harder to get to the next upshift given all the other variables.



Z06 put up a good fight till I clicked 4th...


Mustang pulled good till I clicked 3rd-ish.



The other Supra 700ish HP did better initially, but once the 800 HP supra got into his grove it was basically a 2 man show.



02 Gixxer 600 came out anyways with -1 and in the rear....locked w/the 700ish HP supra ... even though the gixxer had a flat tire! Supra walked slowly up top when he also rolled off.



All in all a facking perfect night of runs. The 800 HP supra was the real deal. I was always 1 gear higher than optimal for the 12....just to make the runs good....and they were! If I was in the correct gear I would stand on the pegs to kill my aeros to make it a competitive run. Really didn't spray much...only when I was caught in the wrong gear and they got the jump. Deep into redline w/the extended rev limiter in 6th off the button....we'll just say it was a lil over 190 mph on GPS and leave it at that.



We had 4 cameras includling mine.....2-3 of them had issues (including mine!) but there should be some footage chopped, edited and posted some time fairly soon.



To anyone out there thinking they can just run up on an 800 HP Supra...think again. The more we did it from higher speeds, the better that car did.....WOT in 4th and 5th in the sweeper I would get a little weave but I'd just stay on it and roll off when it straightened back up. Minimal popos, always a plus. My redbull fell out of my tail section when I rolled off because I have the cowl only, no rear seat, so it is taped up to the tail section and there is a big ol gap from where the foam of the rear seat would "seal"....rolling off hard I would feel the power commander slip out.....no less than 5 times.

Running a drag step seat on bumpy spots for several hours tonight....not comfy...but that is the price you pay for saving 7 lbs.



Now where is that 1000+ HP TT Viper everyone has been talkin about?

Theres a 900-1000rwhp around here that has given liter bikes a run for their money but I am awaiting my chance. Ran a few 500-600rwhp cars and killed them easily. Ran into one of our local dyno shop owners last night in his 05+ Mustang GT conv with a GT500 and Kenne Bell with 800+rwhp and was the fastest car I've raced in a while. I was in second and shifted to third early to keep it on the ground which put him ahead by a bike then in third I passed him but he was only like a bike to a bike and a half behind me and stayed that way all the through fourth and part of fifth be fore shutting down.

Not bad for a stock 12, eh? Imagine what would have happened if you didn't have the wheelie! :twisted:

Keep at it....lowering, pipe, filter, pc3 and a front sprocket can all be had for under $1000 if you look around for some deals!

Don't want to mess with the sprockets, already have an Akro full system and PC3usb, and BMC filters I just picked up not to long ago from members on here 8)

I'm not in to drag racing these things but have been 142mph in the 1/4 bone stock leaving at idle and shifting out of first at 6k. Over the winter I may try to find a wrecked to put back together as a drag race bike and see how that goes..........
