It’s the only thing keeping motorsports as a whole alive.
Yeah, I'de have to agree with that.
It's not my thing(probably would be if I was younger and there was a local scene), but I still think it's cool.

Haven’t watched the video but has he said any numbers yet?
I have a grudge car (camaro) and a roll car (z06) and originally the SS was the car that left the garage most, but people can afford cars (and bikes) they don’t have the talent to drive so street racing as a traditional thing has dried up. Real easy to finance a HellCat/Z06/A10 Mustang/Busa/H2/etc and click off 60-150 just mashing the gas never having to learn how to race/drive/launch a car from a dig.Yeah, I'de have to agree with that.

I did both but I actually enjoyed roll racing on the street cause 280 whp on anytire from a dig on a street is pointless unless it was pre-prepped which I've only seen and did once around here. Hell even a roll with dragmax in second or first and I still had traction issues with a SWB. These cars and bikes now adays are way way faster than even when I was in highschool.I have a grudge car (camaro) and a roll car (z06) and originally the SS was the car that left the garage most, but people can afford cars (and bikes) they don’t have the talent to drive so street racing as a traditional thing has dried up.

Plus depending on what state you live in, the rise of takeovers/sideshows has made it significantly harder to get a street prepped and a race off without the cops being on you in minutes. A pack of 20-40 cars can slow a freeway down to make pulls much “safer” as far as police are concerned. I enjoy both, but roll racing is definitly 90% of the street scene now.
A $50k 400hp bike if I had to guess. Say $20k for the bike and I’m guessing close to $30k for the rest.So probably looking at a 400hp flex fuel street bike? That’s pretty badass
Me too. The H2 is quick/fast, no denying that, but it sounds like a bee in a bean can. The Busa is much deeper and throatier. Kinda like a good stereo without a subwoofer, or with oneI like the deep tone and whistle of the turbo bike, there's something strange about the sound of the H2...not sure what that is...
I'm thinking the turbo will stomp it as the turbo can be finessed for much more power.Wonder how the turbo G3 would fare against the TTS supercharged one in the UK

Id go for the SC with a 1441 kit from Carpenters. Get some displacement with a head porting and new cams. Would definitely surpass the 300 mark and still stay reliable.On pump gas, as a reliable daily driver, they seem pretty close on paper, with the sc being much cheaper(even with no turbo prices yet). I bet the turbo itself costs around what the whole sc kit costs.
The turbo has potential for alot more power, alot.
For a stock wheelbase, big hp daily rider, I'de go sc all day. It's simpler, and more practical, as I'm turning left and right.
For drag, roll, or lsr, the turbo for big power and speed.
For US riders I would think a system "Made in the USA" by HTP would be a big selling point....
With any warranty issues, shipping it to HTP would be far more cost efficient than shipping it to TTS in the UK.
....and who within North America would be setting up the TTS unit?
I'd need to see numbers from another bike with the TTS before I did it. I'd buy the same kit for my gen 1 if I had numbers on it right now.
