So if you meet a busa when you are cruising along on the motorway, even if you are in a 600bhp escos you can expect to be handed your arse basically.
mine is 60-150 9.22 on my GT35 conversion would be sub 9 now so i could scare a Busa at any speed i met him. One ran 198 at Brunters i expect 210+ next time.

you are comparing a VERY modified (one of the best engines in the world?) cossie with a totally standard Busa and you still cant quite match it in the sort of speed range that is useful for overtaking.
Let me nitrous that busa, let alone turbo it too, and you wouldnt even get close Rod.
And if you cant, then its safe to say that most cars cant!
Never said mine could beat any bike Chip just gave the figures, but it does show why my old girl scares them to death.
A local Rider recently heard me comming up behind him & egged on by my son decided to have a go, Saw him change down twice as we approached a roundabout the one mile ringroom straight was looming, he then looked back & saw who it was & guess what he went completely round the roundabout & went back the way he came. My son knew him & said he knew what was about to happen & didnt want to Know., it was only a 750gxr or some such Bike not a contest really.
