Whoever was riding that bone stock Busa surely wasn't pushing it. A stock Busa does 0-100 in 5.3 secs compared to 7.8 for the Ford. I don't know your car, I'm assuming it is not stock?
There's no way a car weighing 3500 lbs with 550 HP can touch a 175 HP bike weighing 480 lbs. But comparing a car, any car to a Busa is just plain unfair. It's like pitting a P-51D Mustang against an F-22 Raptor.
By the way, if you live in Oklahoma, you'd better watch for for these.

you know the little calculators that calculate trap time basedon hp and weight... and wheel size??
my car is 1324 LBS
1012 rwhp
when you punch those parameters you will see that a stock busa has no chance whatsoever down low , from a roll, or up high the sliding was ...weak drag radials (NITTOS) + the track was slippery for everyone racing that day
on the road it gripps pretty good with different tires ( HOOSIERS ) DOT R6 once they are lightly heated..

Joe your car is around 3400lbs with no one in the car, we weighed Torrie's before we took the blower off.

At one point I think we all have lost someone Street Racing in a car or on a bike, but i have lost more friends in non-racing accidents including my oldest brother, but you don't see me getting bent out of shape when someone runs a red light.
Hugh,
You need a reality check if you don't think Joe's car can outrun a stock Busa. My old blue Heffner gts KILLED a stock gsxr1000 and slightly outran a small t-busa. That car was making about 80rw less than Joe's car is now. I can tell you for a fact that this GT will hand a Busa it's ass at speed.
The dragstrip clip proves nothing. The driver was not familiar with big power cars. He lifted at the wrong time, and had to hold on for the ride. With a driver, there is no doubt that car will put down some good numbers at the track.
Joe,
As I said earlier, nice video. Kudos to you for putting it on the line for all of us to enjoy. I look forward to seeing the next installment.
