while they do a great quarter standard , a 900 hp car will kill it from 150 to 250
besides not getting to see many 900 hp cars running around , yourhaving to deal with the worse aero that bikes have
he would be right that it would take a turbo bike to be quicker than a 900 hp GTR over 200

So0o0o0o0o, if I bought a Hennessy Venom GT (a Lotus Elise with a supercharged LS9 in it), would you still be making snide remarks about being luckily beat by a "hairdressers car" in your HSV or Ford GT!
More importantly, if someone put a big block V8 in (God forbid!) a Honda Prelude, and beat the pants off your Maloo, Walkinshaw, what have you, would you still be calling them a ricer! Is it the engine or the car that makes it what it is!

In 2002 we watched a guy pull into the trap at meremere on a kawasaki 1000cc road bike. Straight from the showroom floor,that bloke pulled the first 1/4 in a 9.6 sec on one wheel from the line! Second run was a clean 9 sec pass on two wheels. How far has technology on bikes come since then!

not far
my 203 kg RF900 would do 11 second quarters with only 116 hp
but thats the factory time , i didnt abuse the bike with quarter runs . speed was my thing

Yeah! I'd be keen to see a race actually, I am aware later sports bikes have a .7-8Cd in comparison to an average .32Cd with a car, a massive disadvantage, but, the s1000rr was just pulling ahead of the Ariel Aton V8 with it's nigh on 1000hp/ton P/weight ratio.

atom is hardly a high speed wonder
light weight isnt very relevant to high speed accell like it is to low speed accelleration
aerodynamics become a major factor over the ton
look at the veyron , half the weight to power , but it would slaughter the atom at 150 to 250

It wouldn't be riced. It would be a huge waste of money with no traction.
Preludes are FF, there's no point putting that sort of power all in the front wheels. By the time you'd done the conversion it wouldn't be a Prelude any more.

Would be an interesting race, I'd say the Atom would hold the advantage 'till a bit over 200 clicks, having twice the p/w ratio of the veyron does help a heap with overcoming aerodynamics. Time to go to google.
There we go, interesting snippet, Veyron and S1000RR are even to around 140mph

My mates k6 can do 120kph in first. I dont care how fast your car is it cant beat that bike to 150. I doubt it could beat my rs250 to 150.

interesting reading i do not have much knowledge on the hsv as ive never been into them and they dont stand out at any event ive been to. i see them racing dyo in the high 13-14.2 brackets same as vtec hondas.
what rs250 is going to out launch a 4wd ! i can only compare to mates bikes z10's R1's cbr1000 and a few lower spec models
the owner had just finished telling me(last year this was) the zx10 was the fastest accelerating road bike ,well ahh i pulled from it
now i dont meen to brag or try be big headed like alot of you seem to be ,but god sake spend some time on you tube,google,tuning sites,i do some reading!

Alot of us are not being big headed,we are just older and have seen and been a few more places than you. I have seen many tuners talk the talk,and play with dyno figures,to get the ultimate result. Fact is Half of those saying they have a true 900hp are playing with them selves. If you have 900hp post up your youtube vidoe of it,and a full dyno sheet! Dont be shy ,let it fly.

LOL, you're so FOS. People who are racist/sexist/lie through their teeth are the 1st ones to say "Oh, but I don't mean to be!"

That sounds like the ONLY thing you do. Don't write cheques with your mouth that your ass can't cash. Post some proof up otherwise you're just thwap thwap thapping away!
i have made several changes since .if you require any pics as proof ask me and ill go to the lock up sheds and do so just to proove all you i am speaking the truth
it also is on 19x10f and 19x12rear rims now

there are several cars in the waikato similiar build. there are quite afew listed around nz on trademe for sale similiar power

research is the key to succes buddy ,trialed and proven components and the returns etc etc .you can search each tuner in any part of the world and what they have done,used,developed and so forth.
does that help you understand!
