i can hit just shy of 80MPH in FIRST GEAR... there is no way a 335 is keeping up or take out a crotchrocket...



From a stop, i can only think of a couple of cars that can out accelerate a bike...that's the beauty of power to weight ratio...but as soon as it gets up to speed, drag starts to take over and bike suffer horrible horrible drag when going from a roll...i've been riding for 6 years and i race all sorts of cars on the road...i can tell come to a conclusion that a car with 500 or so fly hp can walk a 600 from a roll ,but from a dig, no chance, bus lengths in seconds...


i raced my brother's C6 Z06 from a dig and just decimated him by truck lengths, by the time he was catching up i was already hitting 150mph and had to shut down.


but we also ran from a 60mph roll and he did pull on me slowly.

yup, we're probably thinking of the same couple of cars that can outdo a bike, but i haven't come across them, lol...

i had a friend of mine who used to have a camaro SS turbocharged, and he always swore up and down he'd take my 6... one day while he was with some blonde cutie, we ended up bumping into each other at a light... he wanted to go, so i obliged... when the light turned green, i actually let him cross the intersection and then some and didn't start moving until the cars behind me started honking... let's just say by the start of 3rd gear he was already becoming a blur... behind me... he never mentioned anything about racing again... until now... he picked up a E55... but i've walked one of them before too, lolol...

i can't keep talking about this... makes me think about my bike too much, and i can feel a tear coming on... i miss her...

Our camera's broken so I'm on my way to best buy right now to buy a new one. I've been wanting to do exhaust vids too. I'm also about to hang out with my bike riding friend, and called my lightest buddy to be the camera holder and my passenger hah.

I went up against my buddy's CBR600RR and got off the line faster than him....lasted for like a second then he took off. 600cc bikes nowadays can do 0-60 times in 3-4s (4s if you are a bad driver) and 1/4mile in like 10-11s. Mind you I didn't have Procede but even with Procede, those figures for a car is reserved for exotics (or a 911 Turbo).

true that, but procede V2 makes a big difference for the 335, regardless of what your racing. Definitely not trying to say that it would cause you to win against a bike, but you would most certainly be way farther up ahead with some sort of tune for your 335 (except the SSTT)


stock 335 = cool
tuned 335 (except SSTT) = freakin fast

Just picked up a Canon HV30 high def camcorder, shoots in 1080i. But how do I host a video in a way that retains the quality?

Definitely not on you tube, host it yourself! Or see if someone will host it for you.

edit: You can convert it to Divx and upload it to Veoh, the site that is trying to recreate stage6

Once you shoot the vid, convert it to divx and then you can upload it to Veoh, like you would on youtube

In terms of power delivery? I'm honestly considering SSTT because its the only true plug and play piggyback. I would rather buy the JB stage 2 with the "hot pill" but every time I make a trip to the dealership I'm going to have a field day with the wiring. I'm assuming the Procede wiring is similar, how has your experience been so far??


BTW Can't wait for the vid

damn, this 1080i shooting is nuts haha! But the video's going to have to wait another few days. I have to get a hang of uploading and editing stuff with this camera (I know lots about photography, but sadly, nothing about camcorders and their software)

Also, has anyone else in southern OC, like the laguna niguel, aliso viejo, and mission viejo area noticed how MANY freaking cops have been out these past 2 days?! Holly sh*t, a cruiser every other 5 minutes

i never liked dealing with video uploads. . . . having a hard time figuring out how the hell to transfer film from a MiniDV to my computer. I dont even know how to check if I have a DV board (its an 07 HP with vista )

The provided software sucks, and I cant even get the camera to hook up to my laptop right.

I don't think he was really trying. A modern 600cc sportbike should be going 60mph in a bit over 3 seconds. Even modded to 400hp, a 335i shouldn't be able to touch that, bike plus rider plus gas still comes in under ~650 lbs.

If you could get the 335i down to about 2500lbs with driver and gas, and it was a 335xi, I might believe it.

I promised I would make this video, and I still will!!! I ran into so much BS with that camera I bought, and I couldnt justify it's price tag, so I returned it and bought a different one off of ebay, but still an HD one so its all good. So now we just have to wait for this new camera to come in. . . . then we're off to the toll roads!

but I thought you already shot the video so even if you returned the camera, you should still have the file on the memory card, just upload that one while your waiting for the new camera.
