You really do live in fantasy land. Here in reality, something that is lighter and has more power is faster. Torque is bullshit. If torque mattered we'd all be racing diesels. So I guess if money were on the line you would bet on a tractor trailer beating a turbo Supra in a highway race becuase the torque is just going to own the peaky HP.
i have a very wide powerband. its not hard for me to find a RPM where i can start and pull hard.
im assuming his gsxr revs to 14.5k or close... and prob starts making power at 9-10k if he doesn't start there... he will get dusted so ------- hard... you could stick that 600 at 5k in any gear and it'll bog like a mother ******.
if he doesn't put it right in the powerband, he'll get toasted on a normal informal highway race 60ish to 120ish
if he puts it right at its peak power he'll win. obviously since the bike is lighter and makes more PEAK hp (for about 3k rpms way way way up top)
same reason 1200 PEAK hp poopras run 12 flat. and this is also the same reason people run new R6s 12s @ almost 140mph.... they launch it at 9k and it STILL BOGGGSSSSSSSSSSS.
not hard to understand

Also, dont buy that bike, at the very least get a 01 f4i, get something feul injected. Carbs suck. I'd say go with a 750. I've had my 636 for about 3 months and i've already geared it because i feel its not fast enough, and the 636 has more or equal hp than the newer 600's because it has 36 extra cc. Go with a 750, ---- it get a 1000.

Yup, your 84' is faster and better than the modern streetbike in all ways. Post vids dragging your knee on that thing.
