I've stayed out of this topic up until now, but seriously folks, this is what it works down to.

The 1000cc bike was toying with him. He was probably impressed that he had to downshift to hold with the stang.

An FZR 600 will get clobbered by a low/mid 13sec stang from a roll. Don't even try to argue with me, cause I've beaten and pulled even with 3 of the little peckers with my near stock 88GT, and near stock 87GT. As far as your hp/lb advantage, I'm sorry but an old FZR 600 will plop down about 55whp, weigh about 700+lbs with a decent sized guy (at least). Now factor in it's powerband. The stang weighs about 5 times more, has a flatter, broader powerband and about 4x the hp with very light mods. I'm not even gonna talk about torque, we all know the bike doesn't even exist in the same land.

I've raced my friends 1993 FZR 600, jet kit, pipe, K&N, modded airbox. He pulls low/mid 60's on his Dynojet (owns his own motorcycle shop, Tech One Motorsports) I've pulled dead even with him 2x, beat him 1x. All from a roll, anywhere from 20-60mph starting.

The old 600's aren't even close to the new ones, though, and there is no way a light modded stang could hang with a new 600.
