    Fao: eazieb

    Have you heard of a car called "Problem Child" ?

    Saw it down the the pod on sunday - I think it looked like an old talbot ( possibly a solara ) but with serious drag tyres on the back - large 'foil and a firbeglass front with a scopp like yours

    it was doing low 11's and sounding like a bit of a beast

    still the bikes made it look slow....never seen a bike with giggle gas before ( I'm suprised the riders can walk with kahuna's like that ! )

    Hmm - my usual haunts arent giving any results
    Makes me wonder if its a) a new car ready for this year or b) an 'old' car used for RWYB's - my quest continues

    Moby- nowadays a stock 600 can get into the 10s....the 2005 GSXR1000 must be banging on getting into the 9s....it weighs under 170KG dry and has more than 155bhp at the rear wheel. It's just a question of keeping it from flipping.

    With an extended swingarm and a light rider, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see one at around 9.5-9.7 with a bog stock motor.

    these had the swingarm - and the nitrous has got to have helped
