Dont completely strip your car SleeperX. Do what everyon eelse does and maybe a little more. Definitely take out subs, spare tire, maybe even floor mats and headrests. Get a ltw battery before MIR if you dont already have one. I have a feeling alot of records will be broken that day.

Jason- quit faking, you know you're gonna run 10's! I'd be happy with a mid 11 and 120+ trap off spray. You going to the Chic-fil-a meet tonight?

Probably because the temperature was hotter. Are you trapping at 130mph now?

The best weight savings would be new seats!

For MIR throw your passenger sear out , take out spare and all the tools, do not pull out the heavy battery, LOL. empty washer fluid to min.

That seat will lower your time .2

rear seats weigh nothing but my Goodness the AMG seats are as heavy as some 2 seater cars. subs can stay, seat goes . GUT THAT AMG

Temps play a big factor in that. Plus dont forget that the quicker you get down the track your trap usually comes down. Which is weird because my best et and trap were on the same pass That just means I need to go to the track more and work on my launch! launching off idle wont cut it anymore.

juicee63- You're right about the seats. Do you know how much they weigh? YOu can pick up some replica GT3 seats that weigh 14 pounds fro like $1500! That should cut over 100 pounds off easy!

LOL!

Speaking of Juicee...too bad there weren't any E63's out because there were a couple of M5's out last night and an M6 as well. One of the M5 drivers said that he definitely beats an E55 and he is almost positive he would walk an E63. Too bad, we could have had some well documented footage. There was also a Gallardo rolling around. We could have ended the E63 vs Gallardo and E63 vs M5 debate right then and there.

i am the one with the 06 gixxer 1000 that will race marc and his s4 in whatever type of race he wants. dead stop drag? cool. roll-on? sure, no problem. twisty roads? now we're talking!

the bike is close to stock, the only mods to the bike being stainless steel braided brake lines, bridgestone bt-002 dot race tires, and a puig windscreen. in terms of hp and acceleration, the bike is completely stock, even down to the factory exhaust system.

so pm me and let me know when and where, or post it up, either way.
Is it strapped or lowered?

I was hoping to see your car at the meet last night but I heard its in the shop

You and Joon definitely have to have a re-match, his car is brutal.
It's more impressive to me to try to go fast on a budget without spending any money at all. Because let's face it, anyone can buy horsepower! That's what I've done with my S4... Try to make it as fast as possible without spending any money. I have $11,000 into it including the cost of the car itself. Oh and the weight reduction helps the cornering/braking/reliability just as much as it helps the straight line acceleration!

Suddenly your argument of a stock 1000 beating me is becoming a lowered with sticky tire'd 1000 beating me.

Of course a modded 1 liter bike is going to beat a four door Audi. Come on now.

Do you guys have anything on 4 wheels to run?

I will race you!! Lets set something up after Labor day. With the weight factor and AWD, we are going to have to figure out what's an even match.

modded? if you think braided lines and a windscreen are mods that will help me go fast you have issues.

the tires are on there for a track day i have this sunday, so you will have to deal with me being on road race dot's. they are not drag tires, they have a very steep profile, which will most likely hurt my launch, but whatever.

as for the height, it is stock height and wheelbase, and i will not lower it or extend it.

let me know if you still want to do this.

Looks like I spoke too soon,Ant says he will keep his bike at stock height&thats as fair as it gets.Tires?the stock tires on the 1k are plenty sticky anyways,and Ant's new D.O.T. race tires are designed for trackdays&severe lean angles not dragracing sp I wouldnt be concerned w that.Sticky tires,what are you running D.O.T. slicks?
He mounted them for the Pococno's this sunday before anybody even talked about racing you.

I may have a bone stock GSXR-750 to run you with,and that should be a very close&exciting race...

We don't have anything on four wheels,unless you wanna run a big-bore Yamaha Banshee quad on alcohol set up for sand drags thru the dirt
