You're kidding right? You don't seriously think that you legitimately beat this bike do you? One of several things may have occurred: 1.) Noob on bike and never had a chance( I feel sorry for the bike), 2.) the competent rider on the bike wasn't trying as the Saleen is no match and he knew it. 3.) you are full of chit and lying about the event. Regardless, it is a nice car and I'm sure that it attracts plenty of attention, but don't insult us with stories of how a Saleen "dusted" what is essentially a full-on race bike.

that's surprising even though you have a 3.4 liter. my car is making about the same hp and torque as the M6. i would have thought with all your mods you'd be in the same territory. beaten, maybe... smoked? something doesn't seem right. you should get it to the dyno and make sure you don't have a boost leak or something. i can stay in the vicinity of my buddy's protomotive TT and that has a hell of lot more hp and torque than a M6.

You ought to tread lightly as you only have 50 more HP than me RUF boy 
Ask WoolyG. We were goofing around on the highway. He's got the protomotive 600 or 650 kit. I can't remember which. Hybrid turbos, EVO IC's, wastegate springs, plenum, intake, Proto ECU, Greddy BC.
I actually pulled him initially (he claims bad gear choice), then he caught up, then he passed me
However, it wasn't the runaway slaughter that I thought it would be. My car hung right in there to shall we say, high speeds, albeit probably 4-5 car length back. But still in the game

Just kidding. Not a huge I-4 motorcycle fan, but I do like the color scheme on yours.
I prefer my bikes to thump and rattle
Bomb scare. Sounds exciting. They'd be doing us a favor if they blew ours up (with no one it of course). Our building is very old and the management doesn't really want to put any money it. Broken elevators, front doors falling off... It's pretty sad actually.
So did they find anything or just a hoax?

How does that go again? When you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all....

Since we are a organization that has clients that are not wanted in any other "Federal building", we always get our own. The dogs did two separate hits today from both FPS and also the Bloomington Bomb squad on the exact same place. ATF also showed up late but concurred with the findings.
So, this has nothing to do with your thread but the fact remains, I do love my Orange Busa but I did crash it two months ago and now have to fix it. My helmet saved my life so I will post a picture of it here.
Great thread and happy to be part of it.
Your friend,
Paul

LOL, your right. I actually think about that stuff now. Not to mention the pressure from family and friends.

RUF holds weight for a reason, its because their power is insane for the rating, true story :P

no, people have installed the SC with 70K miles on their engines with no issues. Though it would be smart to do at least a compression check.

It was from about 75 MPH to about 160 MPH, I don't know if he dropped his ***** or left his fangs at home, but that roll on - I heard him click it down 2 and throttle it - win came to us. I have been riding for years, I own a duc 888 and a MV Agusta F4-SPR which I bought recently and sold my RC51. I wanted to get a 999 because of that sound of a v-twin with ferracci pipes is so sweet and I love duc's. However, MV is known for developing the midsize engine in a four banger with the redline lower like a twin and linear power development, so like Porsches, you get a flat torque curve early and steady horsepower that builds to redline - a perfect engine.
