A little clarification by racing slicks im talking bout the wide ones that nearly touch under that chasis, and cause your car to wheelie

28 X 10.5's wide enough? I've seen Stangs drag the rear bumper off at the track on 'em. Also seen 'em on rides at the local hangouts. I've seen cars show up and cruise the hot spots on weekends with slicks, open headers and race gas many times. I guess it depends on which circle ya run in as to whether or not you see this kinda thing show up on the street.

I've seen bigger slicks on the street. Mostly on cars that were pure drag cars which weren't street legal in the first place. I've seen some crazy shid show up around here on the weekends. God I miss the street racin' scene...

I dont think the busa is as supsectiable to wind as the 10 is cause its a little lower with a lot more as.

... You might get lucky on several runs but eventually luck runs out...

You should have seen me clip that buzzard who decided to launch off the side of the road into my path - @ 110mph yesterday.

One of the Lingenfelter Vetts was tested by Road & Track last year, 0-60 in 2 seconds flat. They wrote that is was the fastest zero to car they have ever tested. I thought it was a misprint and called them to verify. It's true. The guy that owns it lives in Dallas. Be careful D guys.

drag racing yes.  What is the top speed because no skill is needed to pin the throttle and go 180+.

Oh really, please do not try if you think it is that easy.

Fact is neither machine was turning hight revs in that vid.

I have to disagree. Well, I guess any idiot with a bit of luck can pin it and hit 180+. However, it takes quite a bit of skill to *competently* run 180+ on a bike. I haven't hit 180+ yet, only been in the mid 170's (indicated, so prolly more like low 160's truth be known due to speedo error) but I can tell you that while some runs were smooth no brainers that anybody with a sack full o'nuts could have done, others took quite a bit of "ridin'" just to keep the bike on the *STRAIGHT* road.

Ever been in the 180+ range and had a gust of wind take you across the lane toward the shoulder? It's surprising how much you may have to lean just to keep it from runnin' off the edge of the roadway and this is in a perfectly straight section of roadway. I went a good 1/4 mile leaned over pretty good on the 172 indicated run on the 10 the other day just to keep it from runnin' off the right side of the road. I started out hugged up to the center line on my side of the road. I prolly never came closer than a couple feet or so from the fog line but that's a close fuggin' call with the edge of the roadway at that kind of speed!

I'm not bashin' ya or anything, I just don't like the idea of any newbies seein' that comment and thinkin' it's a simple no brainer to run those kinds of speed. Based on my experience it can get hairy as Hell in a BIG fuggin' hurry at big speeds. I'm sure folks who hit those speeds on a regular basis would agree... it's not always as simple as pinnin' the throttle and not fallin' off.

Thanks BT. Just gettting to 200mph (true) is a feat. Drag racing is timing and speed. High speed is timing and top end. Both take a lot to perfect. Most people that sya 180mph + is easy have never been close, those who have tried to hit 200mph know how difficult it can be and those who have been there just smile at comments of easy.

I'm glad you're back. I was wondering where you were, hoping you hadn't disappeared. It's good to hear you still ride like you ride. <span style='font-familyapyrus'><span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'>FAST</span></span>

I've been 170 indicated on the busa and i didnt think it was hard to keep the bike strait.  Would have went faster but the wind was getting in my jacket and i started to feel light headed (strangled).  I dont think the busa is as supsectiable to wind as the 10 is cause its a little lower with a lot more as.  I just looked at the times for the 427 Liggen fighers. it took this much money

TOTALS engine/transmission: $70,667 suspension: $2186 brakes: $6533 wheels/tires: $6863 body/interior: $9953

for 800hp and 800tq.  The quater was only 11. something. Im still skeptical but i guess being young and dumb i dont believe shid stinks til i step in it.  But ill keep my eyes out for any sick sounding/lookin vettes and let you know how it turns out

You said "Would have went faster but the wind was getting in my jacket and i started to feel light headed (strangled). "
NOW MULTIPLY THAT BY 43mph...........
170 indicated is about 158mph actual which is a long way from 170 and longer from 180mph

170mph + 10
180mph +10
190mph + 10
200 mph is 30mph more, or 43mph over the indicated 170mph
That is a huge amount of difference.  PLEASE DO NOT STEP IN THE SHITE TO FIND OUT JUST HOW HARD IT CAN GET.

Well actually next season there is a guy trying to arragne a 9/10th run. I have every intention to see what 180s like. Also BT i dont hang around those kinds of guys. Guys i hang with cant afford to be cruising the streets in race gas, or could afford to purchase a vette, but ill let yall know if i run across anything super fast

Whoa!

I've had to duck birds before but not at those speeds. Also had to go wide to avoid a buzzard that refused to take off. He just sat there lookin' up at me. He musta been really hungry.
