The turbo busas are for sure lol. They get a little bit triggered. Honestly I can beat most liter bikes. A well tuned big boost and ridden turbo busa would probably put it to me though. Both the turbo busas I've run this summer were average riders.

But, but, but, those are terrible drivers and that is most definitely not a turbo busa :p

That is a fast car man! Looks like fun.

Haha yeah only heard that 50 times. The busa has an older kit on it that retains a factory style pipe so it looks different than what most think they should look like. Definitely saw the turbo and boost controller on it though lol

That's just crazy man! Awesome, awesome car! I had no idea 1,000rwhp was enough to pull boosted Busas! Not that 1K is anything to scoff at. Lol

Dead serious, curious...what differences would show themselves?

From a roll like this, I honestly can't see there being a win versus loss difference. It's not like these things take forever to spool, so even if it's being foot-shifted and dropping boost between gears, it's coming right back in.

Plus let us remember that not every boosted Busa is making 400+whp. I'd wager that most are actually making 220-250whp, which while still fast, is much different than the extreme 400+ examples we're used to seeing in these crazy major media publications. ;)

Truthfully, if the bike has just a little turbo and isn't one of the 300-450hp ones...I feel like the race should have been about even.

Now, if it was one of the 400hp Busas....a good rider would've put buses on him.

I just assumed it was one of the ridiculous ones.

And it very well could have been. I'm just putting it out there that the odds are against us there, as there are more 220-250whp Busas out there than there are 400+whp ones.

Either way, OP's car is ridiculous itself. :eek:

Awesome pulls!

The guy on the Busa looks like he weighs 300+ lbs.....I wonder if it would've been any closer with a 160lb rider?

I'd guess the dude weighed about 220. Here is another one I raced earlier this year with the same gt28 turbo. This guy was maybe 160
