after pulling a lot of 600cc bikes, tonight i decided to up it a notch. a buddy has a 08 gsxr750 with full exhaust, intake, and power commander... and not sure how much it makes a difference but hes a smaller guy, probably 140lb. we went out to pretty much the middle of nowhere at 1am and we did about 10 pulls total from various speeds.

i bit off a little more than i could chew with this bike. starting in 2nd gear was just forget about it... between the bikes power to weight and me not even being able to floor it and trying to fight wheel spin, it was just instant death. i wouldnt catch him from this side of the land speed record. We were on concrete and it was about 75 degrees out so i had good traction and down a little on power from the warm evening, so hooking up in 3rd was no problem. when we rolled out in 3rd, he would immediately knock me 2 cars, then start casually putting distance on me. somewhere around probably 120 it would even out and shortly after i would start trucking up on him... but i didnt make up the distance and pass until 160mph... although i did cruise by pretty steady cause i had some decent space to build speed on him once the bikes aero started to screw him. i guess time flies when youre having fun because i was super shocked to see that speed, i had not realized at all that we had been in the pull for so long. i dont think i have taken the car so deep into 5th before

starting in 4th was a lot more in my favor. if we hit it at like the exact same time, he was getting an instant 1.5 - 2 car on me and then just barely inching away, then we would be super close for a while, and i checked the speedo when i finally crept past and it was 140. so a lot better.. but really this car can only pull that bike on the top where the aero is fighting off his power to weight.

we are going to try again in a week or two, im going to swap on some fresher tires and do a little street tuning for some more boost, and we are going to try it on a cooler night. i think i can squeeze out another 50hp and make all the difference... i think that should get me in the realm of staying side by side for 3rd gear and then pulling off my FINISH HIM somewhere in 4th instead of taking it to friggin ludacris speed madness just for the sake of letting the aero take over and put the Z in the lead. One thing is for sure, its going to take a really sticky tire and at least 700rwhp to even bother with a late model liter bike.
