I don't know if I'd agree with that, unless your going to start changing the internals 350-400ish whp is the best your get safely. They have a static compression of 8:1 (low) but they are stock at what 13-14psi? To get to 400whp your going to running in the high 20psi. Which I think is pretty crazy.

I think we are in the 450-500whp ish range safely.

I agree there will always be a faster car and this is not something to worry about... There are more important things to worry about, like getting rear-ended by some street racing asshat with crazy mods.

I just searched my post history, I remember that now!

You got me, I'm busted!

Yeah, we were talking about brakes and I said (sarcastically) that they're a HUGE problem on the street when you have to haul the car down from 130 MPH a dozen times in a row.

That's a funny vid, not sure why the bike would have cut back into the lane that soon - terrible rider.
