I've never raced my bike before but I've seen plenty of people who have and who wanted to race me. I just don't get street racing, especially on a bike. My bike is only 600cc and it will do 0 to 60 in 3 seconds, so what is the point? There isn't enough distance in most cities to even begin to race bikes on the street, or cars for that matter, and I don't think it is worth my safety to drive 100mph in the city. Maybe I'm just getting old, lol.

wow... maybe something is wrong with my car then.. I dunno it is a 6 speed manual.. But even then in 3rd I hit redline at around 80-90km/h... 98 mph is 160 km/h to hit that I have to be in 5th revving fairly high.

well first goes to roughly 45mph, 2nd to 98mph, third about 135mph, and 4th somewhere around 160. but 4th is over drive. During my dyno run, we ran it through 2nd gear up to 100 on the first pull, but the 2nd pull we topped the speedo===over 140...but in truth, I have never gone past 100 on the highway.

Oh so yours in a 4 speed automatic then? I've got my car up to 190km/h (120mph), 5th hits the 180ish mark at 6500 revs and I got too scared to go too far into 6th... I tested that once on the highway at 4am on my way to work, I was the only car on the road and there's this huge ass straight stretch before my turn off. Figured wth, have only done it once though, scared me bad. Speed limiy is 110 but to keep up with traffic you gotta be doing 120. A stock spec v runs at 240km/h (150mph). I'm gonna Dyno my car before I turbo it though, just so I can get a before/after dyno test.

lol. may not be 500 HP but hey... 175 is more than good enough for now.
Also, for my prides sake... Spec Vs are faster than Grand AM GTs.
