Default Me(Z28) vs bike

Short race but here's my story....
Well i decided to take my 95 Z28 to the store today.On the way back from the store i saw a bike behind me passing people on a two lane road and now he's on my ***.The lane that im in spilts off into 2 lanes,i hear him drop it down to pass me so i drop it in third(about 60-70mph) and instantly put a half a car on him,slam 4th and im pulling cars on him.I waited up for him and get a thumbs up.I looked at the bike while he was riding next to me and it was a Kawasaki ninja 500 with exhaust and who knows what else......
Glad it wasnt a 600+cc bike lol..

Wow I didn't realize they were that slow, no offense to your car lol, but bikes are usually 11's it seems like. Nice kill!

Quality bikes usually are.
GSXR, CBR, R6 are all low 11, high 10 second bikes.

Kawasaki is the only inferior one of the "big 4 jap bikes"

LOL

Those bikes don't run 14's. If this was a Ninja Crotch Rocket, not a moped, it would run high 12's low 13's with decent driving. They also trap 105-107.

OP- What kind of car do you have, and what are your mods? Also, any 1/4 times?

Good run. Be prepared for BS flags to fly.

I have a 95 z28, cam'ed,mild ported heads w/bigger valves,tuned,strange 12 bolt w/3.73's and bolt ons(360rwhp).I ran it a few years back on bald street tires and did a 13.0X @ 111mph with a sad 2.3 60ft,also added LT's and a few bolt ons after that and have'nt had a chance to run it again but should be a easy mid 12.

Im also a sportbike owner and have a gixxer 600,750 and a busa.

The 500R is a sport bike. The ZX6R, CBR600RR, GSX-R600, and R6 are supersports. A ZX6R will hang with the other 600's just fine.

Also, the 500R does the quarter in 12.73s with a trap of 102mph. I wouldn't be comparing it to the 11.01 @ 123mph ZX-6R.
