    Ninja ZX-14R Takes The L

    Thanks Riddick. I'd love to see how it does at the track too. The nearest track will likely boot me after one good pass since I don't have a cage and other safety stuff they require. Not sure one pass is worth the time and effort. Planning to wait until the pandemic cools down since my wife...

    Thanks. It was a lot of fun and I get a little rush just remembering those races, lol.

    Ford GT Almost Guaranteed Let Down

    Right. It was "look at how cool EcoBoost is". Never a fit for a supercar in my opinion. Off the showroom floor performance is good, but it lacks the same potential as a larger displacement engine. Case in point is the standing mile record holding Ford GT. Not a V6.

    Ford GT Almost Guaranteed Let Down

    Yeah that's true. 700/500 from an NA V8 would be plenty.

    I'm pretty sure Shelby would have thrown a supercharged Godzilla in there.

    Ninja ZX-14R Takes The L

    That's about what my car should run on wastegate pressure, but I turned it up to about 16 psi for that race. I was almost at the top of 2nd gear for two races and the top of 3rd for another race. When we raced from 2nd I spun and we were side by side for a little while, but from 3rd I pulled...

    Ninja ZX-14R Takes The L

    Warm up race was a yellow motorcycle with a swing arm. After beating a Busa the last time out I tried to give this guy the hit to make it interesting. He wouldn't go with it and gave me the hit. I gapped him by a school bus before letting off. Was ready to go again on a honk, but he wouldn't...

    They worked just as well for that in the 90s.

    I don't buy it. Maybe with 2.73s, going downhill with a tailwind.

    You could also search around to see if anyone happens to be selling a used set. You sure they aren't still made? This isn't them? (several different fitments) JoesShowroom.com - Boyd Coddington B7080L Smoothie II Polished - Custom Performance Aftermarket Wheels, Replica Rims, Cheap...

    Things a time capsule. Ashtray lid isn't even broken yet. Always liked that style of map light. I have one in a box somewhere that I'd like to rig up in my '93.

    Drag strip woes! Could use some help.

    What tires and are you doing a burnout first?

    What is this sorcery?

    Mechanical double clutching?

    First Legit Race in My '13 GT! (Hayabusa)

    Yeah they look great. I didn't start out looking for a car with that kit, but after reading about them it was my top choice. The original plan was to Coyote swap my '93 coupe. With $20k already in it, and a swap costing another $15k+, I just pressed the easy button. Haven't regretted it...
