Ok, as some of yall know, I married my beautiful wife saturday and left the church in the cuda. Well, on the way home from the reception we got beside a red Honday CBR "crotch rocket" motorcycle. Now, I have been dying to get a chance to run a bike since I put the hemi in the car, but have never gotten the chance. The wife okayed it too, lol. Don't know how big the bike was, all I saw was CBR written on it.

Anyways, got beside him at 60 mph...I downshifted to 2nd, he downshifted, I'm waiting with an itchy trigger finger. Then he smacks the throttle and all I hear is this thing screaming beside me, so I rolled into the gas hard, trying to keep the tires from goin up in smoke, and probably scared him half to death when 572" of hemi barking through 4" single chamber flowmasters proceeded to put about 3 car lengths on him before I grabbed 3rd gear.

So yeah, I was street racing, bash me or whatever, I really don't care. We were on a major highway w/ little traffic. It was fun though. CHIP

LOL


ps Congratulations on your marriage.

i dont think i could have resisted it either!!!

That is the outcome I would have expected...bet he bout sheet his pants hose when he heard those cubes

Good job Chip! Did you have the ET street radials on the car? I was amazed how easily they went up in smoke in your video.

good old american hoss power.

good kill..

You know my outlook(it ain't $hit till you put it in the road).I love it Chip.

LOL

Nice kill!!! Your new wife sounds like my wife,"your not going to let him get away with that are you?"

Awesome I`ve taken down a few myself but make is short and sweet so I don`t kill myself or anyone else.

A sport bike is faster than most street cars.

But not all of 'em...

Good story!

Perfect way to start the honeymoon!!!! Congrats Chip! Dave

Great story and congratulations on the marriage Chip. I've always been inspired by your car. Was the bike red white and blue? It was likely an older Honda 600cc. That's the only ones I recall that had the CBR tags on them.

At 60 mph, you had caught the old boy without the advantage of the hole shot some of those small bikes can have, but few 600's can come close to a car like yours that's so quick in the 1/4 mile once your up to freeway speed.

Just like Hemi 'Cudas are few and far between, there are a few big bikes out there that are capable of doing 10's in the 1/4 and that can still do over 180 mph bone stock. I'd love to see a standing half mile race with your car and one of those.

Yea mustve been a 600.

Ironically enough I own both of those vehicle. '71 hemicuda (471, pump gas, street trim) and a '01 honda CBR 600 F4i. And yes, my cuda is the faster of the two. Albeit more expensive!!! And more maintenance!!! And less reliable!!! And it gets much worse mileage...

As a public service a stock 600 cc crotch rocket will run high 11's with a decent rider. And congrats on the wedding!

I'd marry you for you car!
