Porsche owners were my favorite kills. For some reason they seemed to think there was no way in hell a yellow mustang was going to beat them, and i showed no mercy.Wow TurboSN95, that is one serious Mustang. Just curious, what type of money does it take to run that fast?
Made the mistake of running a 911 on my FJR (which was already at highway speed and me in the wrong gear)last spring. The FJR was a good all around bike but wound up on e-bay in order to raise the cash for a 'busa... still keeping an eye out for that Porsche. LOL!
Money wise, if I had to do it over and with ebay and used parts available and the knowledge I have.... An easy $40k is needed. But I had at least double that wasted into the car. Selling that thing and getting the Busa was the best thing I could have done for my wallet and for me (mentally).
A couple vids for you guys:

I got a good story for you guys on this....
I had to take something to my wife at work one day, and I was on the busa. The owner of the company was just getting ready to go to lunch in his Z06 Corvette. He asked me "that thing pretty fast?" and i said it was. he said "think it would take my corvette?" I see where this is going so i say "only one way to find out, isnt there?"
he grins, gets int he car, and we both head out. As he pulls up next to me, I hear a distinct WHINE coming from under the hood....FACK!! SUPERCHARGER!
I pulled him pretty easy up to about 160 or so, but by then we were running out of room. However, I had to concede that if we hadnt run out of room, he'd have smoked me.

Sad thing is while it is nice to have the bike to benchmark, alot of the car guys taping their ride beating a busa could be shocked meeting another one be it stock or of similar tune but with a better rider who's more in touch with their machine and tuning. Suzuki claims to have sold 10,000 busa's for one model year. How many of those owners KNOW how to ride what they're on? Not putting down anyone here but truth is wringing out the best from a bike isn't as simple as tucking in and banging gears. Look at the 9/10ths guys. Some of their Bikes are making stock power beating bikes with a huge hp advantage by plenty of lengths. Ones that have been bolt on tuned are still crushing bikes with a power advantage. Alot of these guys with busa killer cars would get humbled meeting those boys. Remember nickslick's viper vs. busa meet? Viper guys showed 2 vids of their blown snakes walking busa's beforehand. However that Black 860rwhp viper was deadbolted next to danno's stock busa up to 170plus and danno's busa was running rich since he had to revert it back to stock from a tuned setup and didn't install proper mapping. Gar's piped copper 99 was able to keep it's nose ahead of this viper. Riders make a world of difference uneducated car guys can't even conceive until they see it.

Its just a 302 with a supercharger,I'll be home in Feb if a stock busa wants to give it a try,I'll be making some shakedowns then hitting Rockingham and Fayetteville and maybe 710 dragway.

Boosted 302 based motors are mofo's, arent they.
Although what COLDSTONE1298 said is so true... i have a Busa but no way in hell do I know how to launch it yet if I were to race even an 11 second car. That's one thing I need to practice and I get nervous just thinking about letting the clutch out quick with the throttle on.
And thats exactly what I'll be doing,turning loose of a transbrake button,Boosted 302 based motors are mofo's, arent they.

Ah, the dreaded stripped-down notch...
Nice ride NJ, I have had dreams of doing the same-family and kids approaching college age kept the mods to less expensive non-motor type. Now with the Busa the thrill is gone, so am passing it to my son who starts college next fall to love, honor, and no doubt mod as his college budget allows!
Registration on mine reads 3000 lbs, I think that is a little low but they still are the lightest Stang ever to start a fast car from. Love the Fox. Mods are as follows, these alone dropped the 0-60 to about 5.3 seconds. Good start for the kid to work from...
