Are 2001 Kawisaki ZX6s fast?

[slowbubblecar]

Someone at work has one and says it is really fast. I want to race him in my gst if I can get it running right. Do you think I will have a chance with my car tuned. I thought I would be able to beat him but he seems to think he could beat me just using 2nd and 4th. I think it is one of the smaller 600's. It is the same as the one MATCHBX has but isn't the ZX6R. My setup is:

6 bolt motor with 1g head, intake manifold and TB, BS elim and arp's
60 trim with 82 ar exhaust side
T3 manifold
QPR 2.5" 02 housing
3" Thermal turboback
Greddy Big FMIC
1g BOV
3" chrome intake
780cc injectors
Walbro 255 Low pressure
Dsm Link
Guages and other little stuff.

The car seems quick right now on 25 psi pump. The turbo is a little lagy, but If I am in the right gear, isn't hard to spool. Do you think I would have a chance on pump gas, or do you think I will need 30 psi and race gas to beat him. I am pretty sure the race gas wouldn't have a problem taking him.

bench racing huh... Just do it.

I want to know if I need race gas or not to beat him.

[MATCHBX]

Don't know about the ZX6's but I know you wouldn't have a chance against my ZX6R. That thing is wicked fast for 600cc's. Power to weight is a bitch. 550lbs. with just over 100hp.

You gotta keep the thing runnign for more than a month though first.

[slowbubblecar]

It ran before I started modding it more. He said the ZX6R is a lot faster than his. I an guessing it has 95 hp or so. It only needs to run for 1 pull to race him. I can do that now. ;)

[MATCHBX]

Well, 95hp at probably close to 600lbs......6.3lbs per hp.

What is your car putting out for hp?

Car weighs about what, 3100lbs???

You'd have to have about 500hp to match it.

[slowbubblecar]

Defenitly not 500. I am hoping for 400 on race gas so maybe I should try that and hope for the best. Thanks.

I thought enes beat a R6 with 319 or something whp. I didn't think the ZX6 was as fast as that even.

[MATCHBX]

The R6 is only a 600cc bike also. I could be a little off on weights and hp, but it would be very close if anything.

Just do it, why are you scared of losing? If you do, so what? Its still better to at least try. Run race gas if you want, or try it on pump then come back with race if needed.

Go ahead and race him, but know that you will lose. Racing in a straight line is all about power/weight ratio. His bike has AT LEAST 80 hp, and weighs no more than 550 I bet with him on it. Compare that to your car.... Those Japanese bikes have a crazy power band from like 3000-13000 RPMs and that is only part of the reason they can run 0-60 in sub 3.5's stock with no problem.
