I did not know you were into bikes too. I have a Harley V-Rod and just sold my 2004 GSXR 1000 a couple months ago. I have been eying out the R1. Any suggestions on what year? I sold the Gixxer thinking I will be happy with just the V-Rod now I am wishing I did not. There are some days where I just wake up and need to go from 0-100 in a couple sec's
and then put it away. The V-rod has plenty of power for a cruiser but nothing like the Liter bikes. It was always a hard decision in the AM to look at the Gixxer, V-Rod or C32 and decide what the flavor was today. At least with the Gixxer you know no matter who you ran into you were coming out on top and most of the time on one wheel.

He is pretty experienced but I don't think he really don't want to race cause he is usually gunho with any race and when I killed him in the past with my 02 Yamaha R1 vs his I think 98 Kawasaki ZX7 he was way over matched but he still did it but hesitantly. He will race if provoked but my friend Sam(Jerry and 1fastC32 met him) loves going up against everything whenever he drives my car to test it out and he feels that he can win easily since in the past when I had my 01 IS300 well he(WS6) and my friend(RX-8)and I(01 IS300) raced on RT. 53 and a Nissan 350 came along and he(WS6) could not pull away from the Nissan but my Italian friend can take just about anything to the extreme....weight differrence between him and my friend Sam is about 70lbs to his advantage. If the race ever happens then it will be posted in kill stories. Wish my car luck if it happens! Just another question while we are discussing competition....how will a stock C32 fair up against a stock C5 vette? I know the vette has a range of 345-350hp but thats about it but that don't always matter so has anyone raced stock for stock against a C5 vette?

Any newer 2001 + 1000 is way more power than you can really use. I try to squeeze every itch of power out of it but sometimes not enough road

If so, his car is broken.
Being a former F-body owner/racer, I'm honestly surprised you were able to beat him. A stock 6-speed WS6 Trans Am traps 106+ in the 1/4. My stock automatic LS1 Z28 ran a 13.35 @ 105 my first pass down the track, and then I simply took the air filter out for my second pass which dropped it to a 13.15 @ 105.5. If he's smart enough to think of simply removing his air filter for the run, he would've been much more competitive

The 350 could have been modded which a modded 350Z could be expected to be equal or better then a WS6. The thing is we don't know
But I can assure you that the WS6 is operating fine...
Also I did mention the WS6 was automatic and not stiock...

Thats funny i races a 2002 ws6 six speed today on my way to my mothers house and when i hit 2nd gear i just started pulling away from him.when i slowed down he asked me to lower my window (a/c was on) and with great amazement askes what was in my car all i said was a v6 his face was worth a million dollars.I was also supprised as i really was not expecting to pull on him especially with the a/c on. I think hell think twice next time he sees an amg c32.btw my c32 is stock.All i can say is
