Harley vs Cobra

[mymustang44]

Had my first runs in the cobra today. I got behind a harley on an empty 2-lane and he pulled into the other lane for me to get next to him then gunned it. I pulled him by 1 by the end of second then a car pulled out in front of me. He followed me to another empty 2-lane with a light and we ran again to the end of second till another car pulled out in front of me. I was only ahead by about half a car this time though.

He rode beside me for a few hundred yards. Long enough for him to ask me what I had done to it and say he had had his engine "worked over" so he knew I wasn't stock. I didn't get to ask what all he had done because I was turning though.

Overall It was a fun first run. I was surprised it was as close as it was.

Honestly I'm not a huge harley person and I didn't get to talk to him long becuase he wouldn't follow me in the parking lot. All he said was that his engine had been "worked over". But yes, my car is boosted. 468rwhp

Sorry man. I posted all I was told from him yelling at me from the other lane.

That was a pretty funny episode.

That's my v6. I just had the exhaust done like that because I didn't want dumps under that car and I didn't want chrome tips on that type of bumper.

I know a Harley trick is to use I believe an 883 sportster, replace the jugs and pistons with 1200 CC parts, then use Buell heads and then go head hunting. There is a little more to that recipe i'm sure but I saw one running around Daytona a few years ago and it was very fast.

Why do you still have a V6 in your sig?

It's the only car I have any decent pics of yet. I'll try to get a sig of the cobra tonight.

Yeah, he seemed really suprised when I pulled him. He was pretty cool about it though. I'm shooting for some sport bikes next summer. I hear they take it pretty hard. lol

Yeah there is a guy here with a stroked 883 that kept up until we hit about 80 and then I started walking away from him.. the guy was stunned. I tried to tell him an 883 just isn't that fast in the grand scheme of things but I don't think he got it.

Harley's don't have a throttle, they do have a volume control. You turn it up and they get louder but they don't go any faster.

nice, its fun to do too!


I agree with the volume comment so true, so loud and painful to the ears

I stomped a Harley Sporster the other day. How fast are they in the 1/4 any way?

 

[Kraquen]

IIRC, its pretty much a driver's race with an RSX-S...

... with a slight edge to the RSX :lol:

Depends on the year... but I would say very high 12s @ ~100mph for a newer one. The older runs were lucky to see 13s at all. From a dig it can still be interesting for a slow car like mine...and I would still lose to a good rider if they got off the line smoothly, a stock Termi would have no trouble giving one a beat down though.
