Went Hunting Today


Hisssss

Recommended Posts

Hey fellas just thought that I would let you know about my drive today. It finally was nice weather out and I had to go to Home Depot for a few items, figured, the roads were dry, not raining, and it was just a bit cool out, couldn't be a better day to break 2000 miles. B)

For the most part of the day I wasn't having any luck spotting any respectable prey, but then on the way home I took a back way and lo and behold....a second generation red Viper RT vert getting gas... :spiteful: I pulled into the station as he was getting in and I made eye contact with him and snorted to see if he was game.. :stirpot:

He pulled out right behind me and we just cruzed alont a twisty two lane blacktop for about 5 miles but there was no chance to play as we were in a lot of traffic. At the hwy intersection I waited until the traffic got a fair bit ahead and then pulled out on the highway with him right behind me. I kept a close eye on him and and 1/2 way through 2nd I started to give it a bit more gas, the Viper stayed right on my ass, by the time I got into 3rd he was still with me so I decided to stab it. :shift::speedie:

The Viper was into it too because he stayed fairly close while I went through 3rd, but was falling back, and by the time I hit 4th he was a fair bit behind me by then. I can't really say it was a race, really just farting around with him, but I think that he realized real quick that he didn't want to tangle with me. To bad that the traffic and the highway didn't give us room to play side by side.

I pulled over to a Casino parking lot hoping to talk with him but he kept right on driving by so I guess he had better things to do than talk about bad ass cars on a beautiful Sunday afternoon... :huh: I sure would have liked to have gotten a good run with him, although he would have been a bit shocked I'm sure. :victory:

All in all not a bad Sunday drive, any good war stories from the weekend from any of you fellas???

I had a run in with a GTO the other day. I was pulling onto one of the big 6-lane interstates, and as I'm merging over to the fast lane he come flying by. So I nailed it and was on him like white on rice. Traffic was getting pretty thick and he swerved around a truck, but I didn't have the room and had to nail the brakes. I chilled out after that and he kept on going. Would have loved to play some more, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, and traffic sucks around here.

 

Thats really the only encounter I've had. Most people around here have their heads so far up their butts they won't give you the time of day. Of course there's been the occasional import, but beating someone at half throttle isn't exactly something to write home about.

Seriously you got a time slip? power to weight ratio dictates you would be hard pressed to smoke a "liter" bike. Not sayin you did not beat one, they are a handful to ride....but be careful...nice car BTW. :headspin:

If you seen the video I posted today, you'll see the run at the track spinning through 3rd gear!!

 

Sunday night while coming home from a show, one tried!! He did not prevail... That is fact and I will back it up when your ready line up!!

 

As for a time slip.. Yes.. I can show you an 11.66 @ 132mph or an 11.24 @ 126 mph.. boggin off the line and spinning the wheels through 3rd in 95* weather and a 3600' DA!!

 

Rollin on the HWY against the bike? No, I can't prove that!!

Oh I can believe it with the hp #'s you are showing. :yup: Waaaay back in 94 I had a 92 GT with 10# Vortec and GT-40 complete upper on a stock lower block, 3:55. I SMASHED a Ninja 600 from 2nd gear rolling start by 1.5 / 2 cars. :shift::speedie: Now I know that the 600 wasn't a liter bike, but then again my 92 GT wasn't pulling down 700 hp, more like very low 400. Hell, I owned a 2001 750 GSX-R for a few years, and sure that rice rocket was fast, but I know for a fact that my car would have been close if not beaten it. Beating a liter bike is far from "impossible" IMHO.

Oh, and havn't you heard the saying, "if you are lost or don't know what you are doing, you better look good doing it"??? :bike: ie the 20" Razors!!

We will welcome you to the 600+ club with open arms. Be careful though it is addictive (and expensive). Hopefully in another week and a half I will be in the 700+ club. Thanks for your compliments, your car is very impressive as well.

I can believe you took down a big bike. Especially if it was not modded and the driver was not the best. When I had a stage 2 set up (2.6 pulley and intake) I was smoked by one but the guy was really cool. He took me off the line and then at about 90 he moved over to hear the SC scream as I blew by him. We were next to each other at another light and he was in full leather, had stretched out the bike, done a number of engine mods and could really ride. From a roll at highway speed i could see a KB car taking one of these though. I think now i would be able to really give even this one a run from a 65-70 mph roll. Off the line though a good rider on a bike like that will be hard to touch with the traction issues on street tires.

 

I can show a time slip for 11.046 at 133.01 and have run a 10.991 but no slip. I have another slip with a trap of 134.56 but poor ET due to short shifting and a little spin off the line.....the thing is from a highway speed roll there is very little out there that will beat one of these KB cars and nothing that will shame us as far as I can tell. I try not to race too much on the street but sometimes you just have to show a little something. I used to race on the street a lot when i was younger...probably too much but now that I can get it out of me at the track I try to do it there.
