Watch the US Nationals from Indy tomorrow slightest head wind kills the bikes, tail wind on the other hand helps them more. Just ask the Torco team as they were the fifth to brake 7 seconds on saturday.

Yall do realize that the viper had a blower on it and a stage 2 DLM (whatever the heck that is), right? A blown viper is in the 11's in the 1/4. High 11's, but in the 11's.

Bulabula,

The R1 tops out at around 180-185 mph. I'm pretty sure there is not many street legal mustangs that will top that. I would have to guess that when you raced the bike on Rt. 50 ( if it is the same route 50 I am familiar with ) The bike rider was scared of the turns and/or the bike in general. If you put a "Capable" rider on evan a 600 Gixxer on rt. 50 there is no wy a Mustang could hang. Nothing against your car or any other mustang .( other than it being a ford )

A Viper doesn't have a chance at an R-1 even though among the big cc bikes it is the most anemic. If the rider was capable on the R1 it would have been a lot different. The guy in the Viper was just dreaming.
