Default TT Trans Am vs Turbo Trans am and Yamaha R1

Figured i would share..Did some fun runs tonight. R1 had a power commander and some type of exhaust I believe..I want to do a rematch with the R1 when i get my new 325/50/15's on (fenders getting rolled tomorrow ) and adding some more boost. Starting in 3rd gear sucks. Pulls felt a lot longer in person lol.. Hopefully a rematch soon as well between the 240 and the 3rd gen. 240 was having some traction issues. Anyway, enjoy!

The white trans am had a 6.0L LS motor with a Borg Warner S475 which is essentially a T6 frame 88mm turbo... the run with the T/A was 40-155ish.. the bike runs were up to about 120 mph..
