Your best "Dissing boy racers" story.

[boonie]

i used to have a crappy chinese scooter. twas a 50cc thing and sounded like my lawnmower. being the provocative little shit that i am i put a green neon light on the bottom and cruised around at night looking for BRs to rev up.

When i found one this was my normal routine. At the next intersection pull up ontheir left hand side, turn on my neon and wink at the car whore girlfriend in the passenger seat before proceeding to lean forwards grab a handful of front brake and full throttle. watching his face drop as a 50cc scooter pulls a burnout next to his car is priceless. especially as they often drive shit-heap cars that are unable to do the same thing.

Remind me again, how much does a 200kW atw car cost? Would you describe it as a P.O.S.? How would it go against 99% of the bikes that aren't small Thai-made learner scoots?

Can pickup a cheapie WRX for well under $5k now, or a E84A Galant VR4, GTST Skyline, all can easily be pushed past 200kw with nothing more than a decent filter, exhaust and a boost tap.

200kw is enough to run a high 12, so anything under 400cc's is going to have a hard time not looking daft.

I have no idea, but it wouldn't be cheap.

Would you describe it as a P.O.S.?

Often, but not always.

I think some people need to actually re-think what their saying, i didnt know this was the 'lets bag the rgv150 club'.
Firstly,i never claimed that my rgv150 could beat a 200kw atw car, all i said was that i raced an early 2000's subaru wrx(non sti)-(under 240hp@flywheel) and held a car length on him till 120 where we both started to back off, he didnt launch off the line,and neither did i,ill admit,with a good launch on a strip he would beat me 0-100(claimed is 6.1sec),but without a launch it made it hard for him to keep up.
And saying about 'your' 12sec 200kw car which could beat my rgv,do you actually think i care, your average boyracer car has nowhere near that sort of power and will not keep up with my bike from the lights.......my rgv will hit 100kmh in 7sec flat,im pretty sure if you look that up its faster than 95% of the cars on todays roads, yes the odd car may be faster,but most arent.

And wrx's for under 5K NZ,are we talking one that actually goes or one of the wing mirrors hahaha. And just because a car has 200kw does not mean it'l do a 12sec pass, holden v8's have 300kw and struggle to pull better than a 14sec 1/4 mile.
Compare apples with apples,yea, a 200atw KW car may beat my bike, but if all u can beat is a 150cc learner bike your pretty hopeless.

Put it this way,how many stock cars do you know of that can do 9sec and 10sec on street tyres.....and that people can actually afford....your average bike will make anything but the fastest of cars look slow.

Oh,and just thought i'd mention,gtst's,and vr4 galants wont run 12's with just a filter and a boost tap like u say.
gtst's are only good for mid 14's standard,and vr4's are only good for low 15's.
Ive never had a car 'beat' me from the lights,and i get cars all the time wanting to go,says something about ur average car and ur average bike dont you think?-the bike is alot faster.

For the record.

Malcolm Nabbs 1998 Suzuki RG 150 15.3103 58.73MPH 94.52KMH (reckons he could get a high 14 if he had a couple more go's)

Thats an RG150 instead of an RGV150 Not sure what the difference of acceleration is.

The Majority of boy racer's put there foot down and drop the clutch. I reckon a decent rider/racer on the road who knows how to do a decent start could beat 90% of the so called boy racer's up to 120kmh or 100kmh.

[madandy]

That'd depend on what you think 90% of 'boy racers' are driving.
I know a good number of the little hoons and they all run 13's & 14's with not a turbo in sight.
Then I know guys that you may also call 'boy racers' and they drive 10 & 11 second cars, like mine.

[revlikeshit]

That time seems about average for an rg150 in my opinion,personally ive seen one do 14secs,also seen a suzuki bandit 250 do a 14.1sec 1/4 mile, and a kr150 do a 15.3sec 1/4 mile(both at nightspeed).

I know there may be a few cars lurking around that are just plain fast,even when compared to larger bikes,but i think this was actually more towards the 'boyracers' and less towards the true car enthusiasts who actaully have decent cars.
Your average car as i said before is not as fast as the figures your quoting, the odd car may but as ive found out most cars on the roads are pretty pathetic when you compare bike performance vs car performance, my bikes only a 150,and cost me $1400(with 14,00kms on the clock), uve got to keep it in context, i wasnt talking about taking on 12 and 13sec cars,just ur average boyracer,which i seem to meet alot at the lights.

[scumdog]

200kw is enough to run a high 12, so anything under 400cc's is going to have a hard time not looking daft.

How come my F100 with 350+KW will only do a high 13 second 1/4 and only needs 1st and 2nd to do it??

But it will also do over 135MPH top speed??

And weighs 2080kgm

Power vs' weight is not the WHOLE equation, drag comes into it - and traction too - and over all gearing.

[quallman1234]

My point was the majority of boy racer's out there who have big enough ego's to race little bikes probably don't know how to get to 100 as fast as a average rider.

There's a technique too getting there fast, as one would know if they had every had a go at a drag strip.

I reckon if a guy has a half decent car (with a go p to w ratio for a car) and has had a couple of go's at the drag strip, Then he should not have a problem picking off smaller bikes.

[madandy]

Yeah, I get it. Those wank stains in their clapped out 200000k early '90s Skylines, WRX, GSR etc. and of course the Honda shopping trollies and all the subgrade 1300-1800cc cars that were never anthing more than basic transport...but now featuring huge wheels and Artlliery shells for mufflers...
Don't mind me, I'm into pretty much anything fast with a piston engine. One day, when the Skyline's gone I want a boat but It'd need a gazillion hp to go fast enough for me on water, lol.

[revlikeshit]

I agree with the las couple of posts in that most boyracers will not beat a sub 250cc bike 0-100,the odd one might-(one that can actually drive,and is driving a decent car),but can we get out of this dream where for some reason alot of you think ur average boyracer drives a 12-13sec car,...fact is they dont your average car does not do 0-100 in 7secs flat, some do, most dont.I seem to be able to do consistant launches and have never been beat by a car from the lights, i think that tells us that proper fast cars are not as common as many people think.

[revlikeshit]

Just thought i'd add.that 1/4 mile for the 1998 rg150(15.3**sec@ 60mph-95 odd kmh) sounds weird,the time sounds about right although the trap speed seems like a half track(1/8 mile) figure,it should be traping-gearing dependant at 120-135ish kmh or there abouts.

I don't talk about my past on KB, for good reason prob, but to hell with it, I'm in a politically incorrect mood. (btw, this was pre jap imprt days, just. So there was like about 1/3 of the traffic you get these days.)

20 years ago (oh gawd) I was out on my GSXR110K with my girlfriend (now wife). The bike did double duty as my race bike. It had black rep fairings and black tank, no stickers at all.

Because of my height, people used to ask me if it was a 250 Anyways, we were on the Hutt motorway heading to Wellies, and for a change I was being good. A boy racer in a V8 with a jacked up arse end and 'fats' as was high fashion for the boy racers of the day, went past. His girlfriend looked over at us and sneered, as he floored it and took off.

Yes, xmas had come early! Now bearing in mind, we had completed more than 30,000 km's together as rider and pillion. To say we rode as one, was an understatement. As it was the boy racer's girlfriend that did the sneering, I decided to let my girlfriend be the one to blow them away. So, I leant forward and to the left. Knowing what that meant, she reached over grabbed the throttle, and took it over. We had gear changes sussed and she would chop the throttle long enough for me to change at about 10k. So we blew them away, but not to badly (smart girl) and they had another crack at us, so we got to do it again. When the motorway went three lane we passed them on the left so they could see it was my girl friend that was decimating them, we hooked it all the way up to top gear and 'pootled' off Ahhhh fun days, good times!
