I wouldn't put too much credence into that type of drag race.

No starting lights and different drivers in each car.

To really know which is fastest, you'd have to allow ONE driver to drag each car on a proper drag strip with timing lights, etc. and give each car at least 3 runs, choosing the best of 3.
 
That was one cool drag race. Sure it was not technically correct; but it was way cool.

I thought the Boss would do better, it was right up there with the lead group. I also thought the Gt3 would be in the top 3. The Audi surprised me, that's fast.
I think my RT would have been right with the Boss.

Basic specs: A 1299cc, dohc inline-Four supersport that screamed out 161 rear-wheel horsepower and 100 ft.-lb. of torque, enough to propel this 521-pound (dry) space shuttle to a 9.86-second quarter-mile time and a phenomenal, all-time-high top speed of 194 mph. The displacement grew to 1340cc in 2008, but due to an electronically controlled 300-kph (186-mph) top-speed limit self-imposed by all the major bike manufacturers, the newer ’Busa never quite matched the original in engine performance.

There must be a way to over -ride the limiter. Never rode one but always wanted too. Inline fours don't tend to excite me, I like more TQ then HP. I'd say the most enjoyable power rush for me on a bike was a Rocket3.
 
somewhere back in this thread, someone forgot to use the noo oficial thread hijack tool. :y16:
My pick of the bunch of course is the GTR having had a great run out o nissans over the years
To me, the power/performance for your dollar is the most impressive.
