Ya, If I had my old GSXR, I would have put him away.
Now THAT I would like to see. I dunno... 719 RWHP is quite a bit. Say the car weighs 3,000 lbs. That's 4.2 lbs/RWHP.

What does your old Gixxer weigh with you on it? What kind of HP does it put down to the RW?

lol, ive met that guy 2-3 times and leme start off by sayin he is a dick who thinks hes the king of the road and is a better human then all lol.
I was on glenoaks and my friend with his bike was drivin with me. They did a 0-80 run and my friend with the bike took him without going allll out. Gixer or something like that. We met up to talk and all and he goes on saying he smokes bikes on the free way and hits 9's on stock tires. I dono but everytime ive seen him he gets faster and faster. I think last time he said he was a 8 second car. He has the power, but says bullshit lies that for sure arent true. Its supercharged by the way with a built motor best i remember.

When you got a big d**k, you don't need a 'Vette.

That's what I'm saying. Bikes are freakin' fast. But so are cars with 700+ HP

My question is: Does he register for a new vanity plate every time he adds a mod?

I can one up your powerful corvette with a cool hp related vanity plate story with my own powerful corvette with a cool hp related vanity plate story

I'm a video editor for Motor Trend and about two weeks ago we shot a high horsepower tuner car video up at Lemoore naval station. We had about 5 tuner cars and one stock C6 Z06 (just to see how a stock vehicle would stack up against these tuners). Well, one of the cars we were testing was the latest lingenfelter corvette. It's license plate read...are you ready...1000hp. Yeah, it was pretty fast As a matter of fact, it was so fast that our test driver was having trouble getting traction at 125 mph. He could literally smoke the tires going 125 mph if he wasn't careful. I believe after one mile he got the vette up to about 208 mph. The Hennessey Viper wasn't too bad either...I believe he was pumping out around 1000-1100 hp.
