I figured you'd come out with something like this after a recent thread I saw you in. Great video, you made a strong statement with that car.

Solid roller applications are what it's all about. I love the way this one screams past 7K.
Not that I have 500rwhp, but mine is extremely low rpm friendly when the need arises. This vid is in 5th gear with 3.73 gears:

You hung VERY well with that crotch rocket, I am impressed . It's common for all sorts of car owners to say that there modestly modded mustang(especially mustang guys!)/ricer/camaro/etc beats 600s since they are the smallest of the three sportsbike catagories, but unlike cars they are machines built strictly for racing, with mirrors/lights added on as an afterthought. Without FI you better have a sick setup if you want to hang with one either from a dig or a roll.

Drivability seems good as well to boot! .

Very nice, I've always been impressed. I feel like a SR 383 is in the works for me!! How expensive is it to get into a F.A.S.T setup?
