250 vs Boy Racer

[NZDaniel]

I found that up to 160kmph I got the same acceleration as a boy-racer skyline but I was able to take off quicker.






Then the red & blue lights came along... :O

I can beat pretty much anything off the line. At the drags down the quartermile the only cars that were consistently faster than me were the evo's and wrx's with massive hair dryers slapped on them. But come on, 450hp VS 59hp!

I raced one of those VR4 legnums once ( 3l v6 twin turbo ) and he was getting away from me all the way up until about 170k where i passed him, but im guessing he had let the gas off.

Basically anything without a turbo or with a stock turbo, other than worked up V8's, the vfr does ok.

At the end of the day any car running 26psi boost is going to be FAST.

I'll give you a race

yeh what on??? cbr?

And yes 250's will smoke most car of the intitial start i mean i can hold the revs at around 10grand and scream off the line with out lifting the wheel sometimes and it a bit of a strain on the arms fun tho.

Remind me not to buy your bike when you sell it.

awww why not??? come on its rev's out at 17grand and it not like I do it every se of lights lol. once or twice ;-)

i have gtir pulsar (2.0lt turbo), and it is much faster than my bike to 100kph and after 100kph there is no competition... however off the lights my bike will easily get away from the car, unless I launch the car hard. The car would do 0-100 in approx. 5 seconds, but I would still never race a bike at the lights as the speed limit is generally 50kph anyway... no real point to it.

Haven't been beaten on the 400 except by faster bikes, or getting sloppy on the launch versus equal powered bikes. However, I ALWAYS get blitzed by Ford Commodores screaming past me at 140+, seconds after I've got to 100.

Nah commies are slow.

I raced one at the drags. It was a late model SS. ran 14 seconds, I ran 13 flat on my 400.

Rephrase the title then--old boy racer on 250 vs boy racer in car

What 400 was that on? I was only managing 13.7 on my nc30 =/

Drag-raced a KR-1sp (250) back in early 90's (easiest $300 I ever won) - it did consistent high 11s over the 1/4 mile - It takes a serious car to go quicker than that (i.e thay normally arrive on a trailer).
If you can find one of those you should have no worries beating cars on your learner licence!

nc35

13.09 @ 161kph.

I met another guy with an NC35, he had an 18'' rear wheel, and couldnt get close to my times.
