Default Yeah!!!

I've been around the forum,finding info about ZR1`s and this is just
another reason for me to "go for it". Nice to see some respect for
our machines from the BMW crowd.

Hello All
I am part of the bmw forum. And this is my car they are talking about. It seems funny because on corvette kill stories there is a guy that i raced who posted the kill there on srtforum.com i guess i am getting around

What mods do you have done that you could work a bike?

Pretty much stock (about 345 rwhp) I think the bike was only a 600 and we where already going about 80 and i don't think the guy really knows how to ride it.

By someone who couldn't or wasn't racing. I own this bike, and it will utterly annialate all stock Z's, all modded Z's - short of a 415. It had my bro's magnuson supercharged C5 for breakfast - he was making 430 rwhp at the time - and lighter than a ZR-1.

There is no dought a sport bike will kill a z or for that matter and fast car out there it is more of the matter if the person on the bike will know how to ride it and push up to those speeds on a freeway. I don't know about you but when i had a bike back in the day i would not push my luck on a freeway going over 130 mph it was just a little to much for me.

I think even the 600 bikes are trapping low-mid 120s now, which means everything in this type of race, so maybe the bike rider was a little unsure of himself. No matter, a loss is a loss.

Who cares if a sport bike can beat a ZR1.
I just think it's really cool that those BMW folks think so highly of our cars.
