That`s what my gsx-r600 did when I showed him those pictures. Did the busa ever come in a dark green and black paint scheme or did the one i saw today have custom paint? It looked really sharp.

sounds like custom paint

I don`t even know how you could stay on it with so much power. It`s like you`d get home and your body from neck down would be offset from your head like 6". :grinno:

I`d like to know how to keep something like that down too. I know in first and second my 600 (only 100ish rwhp) likes to get the nose up, the busa must want to get the front up through 4th lol.

Dang bikers...I`d kill myself with something that fast and no metal around me. Ride safe all. I lost two friends to bikes this year. And two more of my friends just got bikes. Just be safe and look out for other crappy drivers.

you would be suprized at how much power these bikes can make

I have a friend who just moved to florida with a turbo busa that puts 340 hp to the ground and almost 200 tq and he rides it hard

0-60 in 3.2 seconds 1/4 mile in 11.00 & 127.00 mph

In the 1/4, there are many cars that can beat that for less than thirty grand in mods. Hell, buy a 2002 Z06 and a bottle of nitrous...

Name any car, and there`s one faster.

I think it`s a testament to the Z06, though, that it`s being compared to so many cars. Obviously it`s not hard to name modified cars that will beat it stock in any performance catagory. But overall and for the price and being stock, it`s hard to name many. It`s a lot of bang for the buck! (And it`s the first Corvette with wider stock tires than my 1990! It can`t quite touch the 7,200 rpm though)

Plus, it`s not like the Z06 is immune to modification. What do you think a few grand in exhaust and intake work will do for it? What about more serious money? What do you think a twin-turbo package will be like?

Edit: As an aside, in this video, am I the only one wondering why they stayed in it? I mean, what, is the Cobra gonna suddenly hit its stride and catch up? Why drive so dangerously on the street for no real reason like that? They must have covered a few miles of road easy.
