Drag Race-SJ vs GP1200r

[WAB]

Been trash talking with a coucher on a drag race once it warms up.

modded SJ with regular goodies VS a stock GP1200r.
Who would win to say,,,, 50mph?

I am pretty sure the SJ would spank the GP until about 40-50mph.

I bet you have him by 5+ boat lengths off the line.....

i guess it depends on how far your going to go.

also depends on if you can keep that sj going straight at those speeds.

but the sj would most likely take the lead at the start, and for a good distance.
(good luck!)

SuperJet off the line...

You'll probabaly take him for the first 150' after that its over....

If you're riding my boat you'll take him for the first 50' than start cavitating so bad you'll sub the machine.

If you loose you can always ask him to try and ride your SJ, then laugh when he can't do it.

Stock gp1200s are supposedly supposed to go 60-63 stock..... Or so I have been told mine is pretty fast.....

Fortunatly for you...I have done this race several times :biggthumpup: (i own a 1200r)..youre going to pull him by 4-5 boat lengths off the line and hold it for a good 7 seconds, maybe 100-150 yards or more until he reaches speed- then hell pull you pretty fast

so make sure you have a short lake under a mile across and youll win:cool2:

why whats wrong with you square??..mine pulls hard in any kind of water..rough, smooth ,whatever

for about the first 150ft. you will have him by 4 lengths then he will pull past you l

I don't know...., I'll drop it before the spring and figure it out. Probably something simple. Could be my plate, not siliconed.

The boat was just thrown together to make it through last year. Its stripped down now and ready for a build, in teh stripping/planning stages now.

yes but the SUPERJET has them not the gpr

 

[the only couch rider]

my old stxr vs. a ltd. superjet the sj, would take me out of the whole but i would have him in 3-4 boat lengths

 

[superramjet]

whenever i race the couches I leave them at the line and then when they start catching up, I play like i'm done racing and turn off.

 

[the only couch rider]

so you puss out before you get beat?

 

[meatball]

Exactly! Because people only care about the top speed. However I have convinced more then 4-5 people after test riding an FX140 and an SJ, that it wouldnt matter if the SJ went 30 mph and was a stock 650, its still more fun:biggrin: BTW, a stock 650 holds its own against a 140 for about 5 seconds or so until it really gets on plane (shallow water start of course!)

yep. its even more fun to throw a pump wash so they hit it at maximum velocity too.
