Ripped427 I'd like to see some details and times on your truck.How much compression are you running?I thought C5R engines had 12 to 1 compression ratios.

 

Hmmm, blown 427 with the weight and traction of the SS. The tranny's gonna smoke pretty fast in that one.

 

Hmm .....
I dunno no about this one
what tranny do you have with that thing a 4L60e would last five minutes behind all that power
How much boost are we talking about here ?
who built this monster
And lastely
Where are the pictures with a combo like that i'm sure you can afford a digital camera

 

It's for real. If BigTex says so I believe it. Ripped427 has been around the board for a while.

 

Trust me it's 100% real. I saw it Friday night for the first time. Dennis had the 427 C5 that was in Car and Driver a couple years ago.

I know Dennis and Mike (who did the engine). The truck speaks for itself. The tranny is the new 4L65E.

 

ur SS would get blown away by the bike unless ur SS is runnin 9-10'sec. Im not sayin u dont have a nice car its just that the bike is lighter and more than likely faster. Plus it can probably accelerate alot faster than ur car unless the rider sucks ***** and cant figure out which one is the clutch and which one is the brake.

 

pcracer16 - Bikes have went down before to cars, it's not like just because it's a bike it can't be beat. When you couple AWD with a blown 427ci motor anything is possible. I'd venture a guess that that truck is putting down over 700hp and it's not like he said he was racing a Hayabusa or something. 600's aren't nearly as strong from a roll as the liter+ bikes. If you know the guys here that are vouching for it then you wouldn't call bs.

 

Lets just do the math...and we will lean in the trucks favor. A current 600 F4. about 440 lbs full of gas and oil, plus a 160 lb. rider = some where around 600lbs. The bike stock makes around 105 rwhp,600lbs/105rwhp = 5.7 lbs per hp. Not to mention the bike has a 150 -155mph top speed. The truck, lets say it weighs in at 4500 lbs (should be heavier actually) you said the set up had 587 rwhp, 4500lbs/587rwhp, this is 7.6 lbs per hp. Even with gearing and AWD you may be able to stay even up to 75-80mph then the weight and the brick like areodynamics of a truck will start to hurt you. I would love to think that someday my truck even with mods, could be a street driven bike beater. But for now the numbers truly do not add up. I do wish you the best in your challenge.

 

ok, he did say that 587hp was BEFORE the radix, secondly unless the guy riding the bike is real good, he cant put all that weight/hp to use initially, which means he woudl have to play catch up to the AWD truck. CAN U SAY TRACTION.

 

You guys are most likely correct. Most of the meatheads with bikes now do not really know how to launch or ride them for that matter. If he has 587rwnp before the radix, is it safe to assume he's got about 750-850 rwhp? Or would that number be wishful as well? If so, 850 would get you into the realm of acceleration to compete with most bikes up to about 135-140 rwhp. Man thats alot of power to contend with. I hope the drive train on that thing holds up.
I must admit, any street driven vehicle capable of mid 10 second 1/4 mile passes should be given all the credit in the world. i can't wait to see what he does in the 1/4.
