Cars vs Bikes #64,001

**chickenfunkstar** · 5th June 2006, 18:20

Just came back from a blat up to Wellsford with a 600hp RX7, a 500hp RX7 and a 300hp S13. I managed to go at their sort of pace without too much difficulty although I think everyone was being pretty conservative. I had a passenger and I don't think the cars were as familiar with the road as I was. Didn't stand a chance on the straights although corner speed seemed quite similar. Still pretty good fun.

Lesson of the Day: 600hp doesn't help one bit when you're stuck behing a que of holiday traffic. Had to laugh when I overtook them all at once.

p.s. Anyone else notice the number of Police on SH16 today. I've never seen that many out there before.

Ha...was at my parents' place in Whangaparoa last night...was almost going to cut across to Kaukap's and blaze up to Wellsford and back...

Tend to recall another long weekend when they were all over the place though...so didn't...fine choice me

I wouldn't mind riding with those RX-7's some time though. Would be interesting to see what a car like that can do.

An asain guy went into fast fours and turbo and paid in reds for a $29,000 blue rx-7. they went out the back to teach him how to drive, after 10mintues he still couldnt so they droped him off at his house with it. 1.5 hours later he rang up "car go up curb into fence".....

the moral of the story. Cars are gay.

yeah.. can't physically get more than 450 stock turbs (and that's after going past inefficiency of turbos) and piping etc so 600 is pushing it quite a bit with mods too... ported and shit fuck i'd hate to run a 600hp daily drive cage that's a jappa. Specially a rotang.. sorta like 2 strokes hehehe

Why do people quote such inflated figures bet if I got it on a dyno it would be nowhere near 600HP

I have owned many RXs years ago and spent lots of $$$$

**Sketchy_Racer** · 5th June 2006, 20:04

Naaa its only 20....

My mate grant (ZZR 11) and I ran into what looked like a skyline club outing one sunday on SH 39 just north of Pirongia there were a few Godzilas mixed in amongst them.. When large road bikes meet sport car enthusiasts on a Sunday ride/drive one thing can lead to another and it got real exciting. The cars were onto us on the corners, the bikes held their own on the straight bits with better speed and acceleration. The bikes only gave the cars the learn because of the traffic holding the cars up.

This is not all skyline drivers but most need WANKER written on there forehead,

Out of all the car drivers on the road they take the cake

**terbang** · 5th June 2006, 20:37

Yeah agree but these were real Godzillas driven by a slightly older set..

Dunno where the figure comes from but the Car owes him over $85k. Gear box alone is worth more than my bike. He reckons it'll do a sub 11sec 1/4 mile when its finished. Seems like alot of money when you could get a faster bike for under 1/4 of that.
Boys and their toys I guess.
