SQUIRREL MASTER Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Banshee's belong on the sand anyways, asphault is for pussies :ninja: :yelrotflmao: lucky me i get to be the first one to say FUCK YOU sand dragger. Thats not to all you sand draggers just this specific guy. Every form of racing is different one way or the other but they should all be respected.

05.Banshee.SE Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was talking to a friend about how I took the Shee to the track, and I told him about the Shee that was running mid 6s @ 103+ mph. He said the following: "There is one that goes out there that runs 5.7's at 127 mph with a 1.1 60 ft" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jroll44 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks guys :biggrin: I should probably start thinking about a streetbike engine! :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragblaster246 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 your gonna need something along the lines of a bigggg DM, Caracal, Scimitar, or a tripple to even think about getting a 9 flat in the quartermile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yfzdunejumper Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would expect mine to run very low 5's (before the super tune....) if I could get it to hook up. What does that translate to for the 1/4? High 8's??? I don't think I want mine to ever see over 150mph so I will stay away from the 1/4. Mine will see the 1/8 sometime this year.

badcompany Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm not sure about 9 flat but I think 9s and even low 9s are very attainable. I ran a 12.27 at 98mph with 1/8 mile gearing on an uncut stock framed 350, on gas, inframes, no override, no bar and no slicks. Thats with low 7 eighth mile times in the high 80s. Theres cheetah cubs running low 6s and high 5s in the 1/8. One second faster at the 1/8 mile marker turns into alot faster at the 1/4 mile mark. Also, hes talking about building a motorcycle, which will weigh less all around, have much less rotating weight, and a taller tire which will help you gear for the 1/4 much easier. I say go for it, ive been wanting to do it forever. If it were me I would build a 4 or 7 mill cheetah cub and go all out, to keep it on the reliable side since 1/4 mile runs are pretty tough on the bike.

rdepiano12 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I dragrace streetbikes, so i know what kind of power it takes to run 9s. For about 1500 you can buy a gsxr 1100 motor and hit it with a 50 shot and run low 9s with a stretch on the bike, Let me know what kind of frame and stuff you plan on running!! I run a gsxr 1100 that runs mid 8s, and my dad is running a older gs 1500cc motor thats running 7s on spray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03portedshee Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 If you were to read the post right I was refering the stroked gixxer doesnt come close to the busa...showing that stroking and other mods whcih alone are over 1500 wont get you there let alone a stock r1 with 1500 of mods.. Whats up shannon. I have a buddy that has a new gsxr that has about 1700 in mods and stretched out 10 inches and runs 9.25s consistently every weekend. You gonna come back to coffeyville when we start the races up agaiin September? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoholic Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I got an old 84 RZ with a stock stroke Cheetah. This is a Banshee engine with the Banshee tranny gears also. I run 9.8's with this. Usually only about 128mph. It is stretched 4in in the rear and raked in the front to a 68in wheelbase. Stock DOT on the rear and slick on the front. It would be much faster with a bigger tire, it will spin and slide around on the bar, and when it hooks it will dam near throw you into the rails! It will not take a huge engine and loads of money to go fast. I have beat just about EVERY bike at the tracks I race at except some pro stockers and a few H2's. You will have to spend MUCH more money on your R1 to beat me! You might get me once, but Ill put my money on the little RZ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was thinking about building an rz, i calculated having about 3k or so in mine. Also, its amazing how many bad riders there are. Every weekend I go to the strip there are several people spraying their liter bikes and still having trouble breaking into the 9s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
