I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of any vids showing a GTR and a Hayabusi dragging. Just want to settle a bit of a dispute with a mate and would love to see it anyway.

If not a Hayabusa, then maybe other quick bikes R1 etc and of course with a win to the GTR.

Thanks!

I have a video of a modified Supra dragging a stock Hayabusa. Would that help your dispute?

And a win to the GTR would prove what exactly? That you can tailor-build your own car for $80k+ that will beat a $15k motorcycle?

No, actually it would prove that a street registered car is capable of beating a $35000 bike or one of the quickest bikes around which is what he does not believe.

You could tailor build your own car for $80000 or you could just buy an R32 for $41000 with 850hp which is what I am test driving on Tuesday.

Of course a street registered car is capable of beating a Hayabusa.

It all depends on how much money you have to sink into the car. Oh, and just because it's street registered, doesn't mean it's street LEGAL, which it won't be.

Anyway, this is comparing a HEAVILY, HEAVILY modified car vs. Stock Hayabusa.

How about a modified street car vs. modified Hayabusa? Bye Bye Mr. Street Car :D

Saw a turbo-charged blue Hayabusa run at the creek once.  Man that thing flew...  Would hate to think what it would take in dollars on a street car to beat it.

I would even venture to say it would be near impossible for a street car to beat it.

Stock busa does low-mid 10s... What would a worked (turbocharged, etc) busa run? mid-high 8s? low 9s?

How many 8 seconds cars do you know? Now ask yourself how many of them are true "street cars"? :)

But the thing is, with bikes that quick and powerful, there aren't that many riders out there that can launch them at their full potential, as they're scared of flipping the thing, or flying off the back.... and rightly so! I'd wet myself piloting a busa down the 1/4 mile, let alone a turbocharged one!!!! :D:)

Hayabusa at Final Battle was converted to 3-wheel, was turbo charged, and had NOS. Talked to the owner, and he said it's run a 5.5 1/4 mile assisted by NOS, and a 7.5 without NOS. And for some reason, it's registered as a car, because of the 3 wheels, and so he doesn't need to wear a helmet....insane

Martin Donnon once pondered in an Aussie mag (prob Hot4's) what it would be like to take the 1300cc motor from a Hayabusa and fit it to a Cappuccino.

Would LOVE a crack at one of those on a track! (Round a track not just straight along it though :D )

I don't know what you've been smoking, but a Hayabusa does not cost anywhere near $35k. Unless you're talking about adding $20k worth of mods of course. But if you're talking about mods, see other people's posts above.

well my mate told me they were $33000 + on roads but anyway I got some vids....thanks guys.

Brand new they are just under $20k. Second hand you can get them for under $13k. $15k is about average. Have a look on Tradingpost if you don't believe me. For $35k a Hayabusa would be running 8's easily. I think there's a turbo kit for around $10k, plus you lengthen the swingarm to help stop it looping.

I'm not saying that one is better than the other, all I'm saying is by having a GTR that can beat a Hayabusa is only proving that you have more money to burn.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
