Default Sierra Vs. Yamaha R1 (ala grek)

i think you all remember the video with the gray sierra running against a R1...

Well this is the "greek" edition of the race...

this race took part almost 4 years ago between a Yamaha R1 with pipes and a Shap Sierra Cossie on slicks, sequential gearbox, and well over 650 bhp... and plenty of carbon parts, like hood, bumpers etc...

the sierra used to run very low 10s with over 225km trap speed...

for almost 3 years this sierra dissapeared but NOW almost the same and better parts were installed on an Escost Cossie which will be drag/street racing in Greece this year...

to find the video was VERY DIFFICULT and the quality isn't that great but believe me... you HAVE to hear this cossie changing gears...

the run was made from a standstill for about 650m but after 350m the bike rider quit bc he couldn't keep up...

heres a pic of the monster sierra...





enjoy...
