I was street racin my Shelby Turbo and IROC-Z in the mid to late 90's, Fast And Furious just glamourized something I knew about most of my life. I feel old now..

Anyway, the 'Cuda is tricky and it's a pain in the 🤬 . But it's worth the payoff in the end!!

IRL 300hp at the wheels is enough to leave most cars in the dust nowadays.

I wonder if my dad's M37S would do the same :lol:

I knew for sure that the G37S would have won some quality races due to its great acceleration and INSANE top end.

Oh well he called the Infiniti a crotch rocket lol unless I misunderstood, which I am pretty sure I did :P
 
Sorry started quoting the fast and the furious again. :lol: Yea a crotch rocket is like a Suzuki Hayabusa / GSXR1000 / Yamaha R1 those sorta bikes.

Every Japanese cars are crotch rockets.

Haha crotch rocket is because it sits at your crotch like a bike. :P unless you sit on top of a Japanese car it ain't a crotch rocket 👍

Ive always hated that line.... lol

I call bs on that... yeah maybe back in 1992 when the fastest production was a CBR900rr.... that ran 10.5's. But in '01 when that movie was filmed... a Yamaha R1 (pictured below) would run high 9's.. and a Hayabusa from the same year would run mid to low 9's.

Here is some "Top Gear Math"... The Bugatti Veyron has a power to weight ratio of 0.241hp per pound... the Supra from the movie.. (from my research).. is 0.151. Where as a bone stock R1 form that time period is .309hp per pound... and a Hayabusa is 0.315... nearly double. All im saying is that a bike with no mods would beat a "Honda 2000" with "100k" under the hood... and if you put a 16th of that into a turbo and a mile long swing arm (so you didnt flip over when you launch)...an exhaust... maybe a bottle for a little more fun... there would be nothing you LEGALLY drive on the road that would touch it.

Its not that you sit on your crotch... lol its just that if you hit a bump.. the tank will bash you in the nuts...EVERYTIME. lol. You end up riding it like a dirt bike...standing up to go over any sort of bump or manhole cover. Just to be safe:tup::lol:

You into the racing quads or are you a 4x4 mudder? I'm the latter.

I'm just a trail rider but I enjoy mudding. I actually kind of lied, it's not a 4 wheeler, it's a 3 wheeler, in fact a 1985 Honda 200X.

I've got a 2004 Yerf Dog 3205 in red.

Nice, we have a Honda 200 cc 3 wheeler in our family too, The thing is unstoppable and will climb sand hills better than my 4x4, it gets to a point then digs itself into 4 nice little holes, 3 wheeler keeps going and wheelies :)

Boooo Honda's suck.... (my first bike was a '86 Honda vfr Interceptor 750.) lol But yeah.. you gotta get a bike.. its the most fun you can have for under 6k. Ill say this... If you want a 600... get a R6. If you want a 1000... get a Gsxr or a R1. Dont waste your time on a 750... and stay away from the CBR's 👎

I was just wondering if that was yours cause im 98% sure that picture you posted is my exact bike ('01 R1)
 
If you buy a Honda don't buy a 600 it is slow... I had more fun on a zx9r besides I am more into vintage bikes

As much as I love a good Honda for me it's either Suzuki or Ducati..

Gixxers and the Desmosedici :my pants creamed:
