TLicense Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Typical eh? Just as I'm starting to get the Supra finished to a point where I'd have something that would be worth my Dad racing on his Fireblade, he's just gone and picked up his new transport. I think he said it was a Suzuki "hire bus" that was apparently capable of 200mph. He went on ranting saying that there was no way in the world that I would ever have anything that was faster than his. Something about the natural order of things. Looks like a gauntlet has well and truelly been flung down. That house building project may have to go on hold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRASUZUKI Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 What BHP do you reckon your Supra will make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I don't know. Will see in a couple of weeks. Hopefully more than I started out with! Just a quick calc, I'd need about 650 to see him off. Bleh Sod it, It'll have to be a top speed race over say 20-30 miles. That way he'll get tired and just fall off. Youth over experience!

Bobbeh Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Oh, well get a Turbo'd Busa and show him how to really ride (and life insurance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The natural order of things? Hmmm...you get older, your reactions slow down...you get slower and more stupid. So he bought a 'busa. I hope he's sensible mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might need more than 650. I borrowed this info off Envy. "(2006 Spec) High Boost – 2.4 bar Horsepower: 945 @ Rear Hubs (Thor Racing Dynapack) Quarter mile: 10.13 @ 143mph, 1.6 60 ft (Santa Pod Jap Show Finale 06) Top Speed: 189.9MPH over 1.25m Full street weight, including sub box, spare wheel, tools etc!" I know the GSXR1000 is good for a similar time (although not as fast at the top end) and the 'Busa's in the same ball park. Let us know how you get on.

TLicense Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I was going more on power/weight ratio. Double decker bus (or something like that)= 170bhp/430kg=395bhp/ton So for a 1.6ton anything to beat it, it'll have to have 632bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Go on, you must have some idea..... Nope, not a clue. It definitely won't be more than 550lb/ft torque though, as that's what my clutch is rated to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1000 is 168ish (claimed) just over 190 weighed by VOSA when I imported it. The Busas about 190 (claimed) IIRC. Assuming your dads 80kg you need to equate using about 300kg all up, not 430.
