More then your stock short block can handle. I would say at least 500rwhp+ with a suspension to match. Your best bet would be from a dig a roll race is death. FYI I have a 06 600RR and they say they can run in the high 10's stock.[:-]
in a drag race you are best off going from a dig. but if you really wanna increse your chances a little more try racing on a corse with turns. Mustangs arnt nessacarly known for their handling, but you still have 2 more wheels than him and can keep the speed up more around corners.

Ah thats ok. I would rather put that 4 Times amount in my car and just wait for that day when its done and some crotch rocket pulls up next to me and is ready to spank my ***, and I just smile and wave (while punching the gas and pulling away .) Kind of like this movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdtm63R_fuc
I can't believe that a trans am pulled on a Gixxer 1000. That doesn't make any sense to me.

uhmm guys.. I don't know if your aware of this... but, we have a much better shot going from a roll... perfect example... I raced this bike... like a 2000 R1... from a 60mph roll, and I won... from a dig i got annihilated.... another example, I raced a gixxer 600... from a 40 and 60mph roll and won both times handily... went from a 10 mph roll and a dig, and i wasn't even close... almost every bike you see runs better from a dig... if they don't the rider doesn't know how to ride.... The hardest thing about racing a bike is getting the front wheel to stay down, so for the first little bit, they're not that fast (most you can take off the line if you can launch your car) but after a half second or so when they throttle it... your dead in the water... They go 0-60 MUCH MUCH MUCH faster then they do 60-120... again, if the rider knows how to ride.

I was thinking the same thing, but I wasnt sure if I was right because I dont own a bike and dont hang out with bikes. But you are right, if your gonna race a bike, go from a roll.

Good points..not to mention the aerodynamics of a bike are terrible.... roll on is really your only chance to beat one unless you can actually match or beat their 1/4 performance (and the weaker stock bikes are 10secs or better these days)
