Hey,
After getting my street/strip tires mounted to day, I was out cruising with the girlfriend. The car was launching INSANE compared to those 235-60s before. It was SWEET!
Anyways, on the way home I was merging onto Rte. 1, and saw that nothing was coming. There was a blue sport-bike behind me. So I slowed down to about 25mph, and asked Steph "Wanna see a motorcycle disappear?" She laughs and I hammer it from like 20. Perfect traction, boost jumps right up to 18.5 psi. I see the biker lean over and gun it. We hit the highway WELL over the 55 mph limit, and I see he's now gaining. I was WOT, going well over the 85 mph my digital speedo reads, and he swings into the passing lane. DAMMIT!!! He shoots by at God knows how many mph, it looked like he was doing about 15-20 mph and I was standing still. He gets in front and we shut down. After a while I inched by him at 65 mph and looked over. Saw the "R1" on the tail. I gave him another thumbs-up and he nodded at my car. Friggin Yamaha YZF-R1, DAMN those things are fast when somebody knows how to drive them!!!! High-10s out of the box. I'd never been whipped like that before. But it was a blast, cool guy and all.
About 1 min after the race was decided, the Hyundai that was behind us on the enterance ramp goes winging by both of us, giving thumbs-ups. It was pretty cool!

. A friend of mines did low 9s (strapped and lowered) then later did high 8s with a -2 front sprocket change ($20 mod) on his 10R.
