Some whiskey tango in a nice new mustang cobra wanted to drag me off the line...........

I had the wife on the back, so I opted it being a bad idea.

If I was solo on the bike..........think I could have taken the cobra?

2004 S4r, 115hp at the rear (per the dyno) and stock gearing.


note: I am not into street racing, just inquisitive to see what the result would be.

Got home from the shore early, and went for, what seems to be, the first ride all summer  ;D

Now home having a cocktail, while mike drills holes in the bed of the tundra. We got a couple of those wheel chock things to haul the bikes  [thumbsup]

Hope everyone is enjoying their labor day !

Without a doubt and without breaking a sweat.  The Cobra likely weighs in (benefit of the doubt here) at 3500 lbs making likely 350hp.  So, power to weight at about 10lbs/1hp.  Your S4R is 115 hp but weighs in at like 430.  Add you & the gear and maybe 630 (don't know your weight, so don't get insulted, K?)  So, that's about a power to weight ratio of like 5.5lbs/1hp. 

Totally smoked his ass you would have....

That's what I was hoping. I am not sure why people around here like to race off the line.

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.
