At 70 roll on Id rather see the bike in 1st or 2nd gear, not third. It should be screaming and jumping at the start....

Looks may be deceiving but it did not seem like the bike was pulling that hard....I agree that the bike should have been in probably second gear considering the car has that many HP's to it.....

This past Saturday Mr. Gary Javo www.garyjavo.com took his Heffner TT (850+ rwhp) Viper and raced a piped GSXR 1000 (quicker than a 'Busa until rev limiter, stock). Followed by a 0-200+ MPH sprint down a 8 mile stretch of road. Car has no roll bar or any safety features. Here's his 0-150 MPH incar run on 'low boost' setting. http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg419q/TTGTS0-150m.wmv

He's rolling on 20" rims and Pirelli's. Many people were scared that he would crash and be instantly killed due to the big rims.

I could not pull up the video.
But what I gather is it took the cost of a viper, two quite expensive turbos plus set up . to do a bullshit roll on.

How bout a standing start by skilled pilot. All I know is that a stock R-1 can reach top speed on the track (189MPH ON SPEEDO)at Gainesville and still have time to brake Can the viper do that ?

That answer would be NO

Nothing against the Viper but really roll ons are bullshit and really do not mean alot. "However" the Viper should be able to out corner a bike, but say 20 laps at daytona the Viper would not have tires or brakes left and the bike would ride home without any problems,While the viper was on a towtruck with smoke billowing out from underneath.

$12,000 bike (fine) $100,000 car with no brakes or tires
thats priceless

That race is a rediculously deceiving joke!!! You can't go 3rd gear vs. 3rd gear!!! That Viper has more torque than It knows what to do with. The bike has NONE! Let both rides pick their gear and the Gixxer would pull on the Viper for a few seconds - guaranteed.

:fact

But a over 800 hp turbo Viper or Supra will always crush bikes like that. A mod bike could also win, it's all about :dollar .

:dollar = speed.

Go tell a billionnaire that is 1981 4 cyl. Chevette is slower than your Viper, and see what happen 3 weeks later when he'll knock at your door!!! $$$$ :fact :eek:wwn3d

i have only raced one viper and it was on my R6. i was behind him. when he hit it i twisted it all the way around. i was in second. pulled even it second and when i hit third i pulled ahead. i shut it down when i was doing well over 140 and he gave up when i got way ahead. i am sure he was doing well over 110. my buddy was on a 87 hurricane and couldn't get around him

That GSXR1000 started out in 2nd gear and the Viper started out in 3rd gear.

What exactly makes it so hard to believe that this car could out accelerate a GSXR1000? There is a similar Twin Turbo Dodge Viper, built by the same shop, that has ran the quarter mile in 8.75 seconds at 168 mph.

I have pulled GSXR1000', R1's, a Boss Hoss from a roll and I don't make anywhere near that much power. :)
