12.1@111 i think that is a great pass for a 3700 pounds car with stock tires and first pass...

an r6 would spank him

He ran 12.5@116 not 12.1.

Lets not get into a bike vs car war here, because that's just stupid

My friend bought a C5 Z06 at a really good deal. BUT I was so sick of hearing him talk all kinds of crap about how fast his car was and what it can run the 1/4 mile in. I finally convinced him to go to Qualcom which is an 1/8 mile track here in SD. So he goes and gets spanked by civics with full bolt ons. My friends RSX smoked him although he has quite a bit more money. But the point is just because your car makes XXX amount of horse power and XXX amount of ft/tq and weighs XXXX amount, its all comes down to what YOU can do not the car. When you see a C5 Z06 running a mid 12 1/8 MILE... yes there is something wrong very very wrong and its not the car.

P.S. my friend no longer talks about his car as if it was a Zonda

drag racing was like... so last year! :icon17:

Everyone knows its all about road racing and drifting these days... :driving:

umm I only said that cus he was claiming in his Youtube page that he was going up against his buddys R6... also that CBR in the video would have owned him something fierce if he actually went all out... I dont know what he was trying to prove...

I thought i read somewhere the highway was in mexico? I dont remember it being a buddy of his but he did say it was a vs video. It didnt look like the bike knew what the car was doing. almost like a good 'ol ricer fly bye mmm my favorite.

Yea - supposedly the bike was "racing" w/ him... and was his buddy... but iono man... bikes can be awfully fast and a 12.5 second G isnt as fast as most bikes... a stock R6 does what a high 10 second quarter - and thats a standing quarter - if he is on a roll already - forget it man...

Umm...no. Did you even watch the video? The bike was definitely racing. He was tucked, and he had it pinned through the breaks in traffic. If he wasn't going and riding casually at a steady pace, the G would have flown past him long before. They were quite even through 4th and 5th.

well the brightt side of all of this is that that car def has much more potential and once he gets more practice he should be in 11's in no time :tup:

Again, wow...you guys are a bunch of n00bs. Explain to me how quarter-mile E.T.s come into play here. Is there a part of the video that I missed where they went at it from a dig?

Bikes are nowhere near as fast as they are at high speeds relative to their 0-60 and 1/4-mile acceleration figures. They are as aerodynamic as an office-chair and lack the sheer power to overcome that. It doesn't matter what a car runs in the 1/4-mile, if it traps above 120 MPH, it will likely walk away from a 600cc sport-bike when speeds get into the triple-digits. Sure a stock R6 even with an average rider runs a high-10 @ 130+ MPH, but only the later is what counts when you are talking about high-speed acceleration. Even then, a 1/4-mile trap-speed naturally has low-end acceleration factored in. A car wont even have to trap the same as a bike to walk away from it at speed, say a 60-150 MPH roll.

LOL who is dis guy? the owner of the G? or the friend riding the bike? I saw that video when he first posted it on myg37.com buddy. nice to meet you by the way :tiphat:
