Lexus LFA vs Suzuki GSX-R 750 on the highway drag race
Reminds me of one of those Toyota Supra highway races. Apparently, the bike owner claims LFA beat him till 170 mph and then the bike reeled him in after that.
Owner also posted and said his bike was a 750 and not 1000.
Austin,TX tollway north. I had just pulled on the hwy when the LFA did, I tool a quick picture and kept on. A few miles later, I saw them in my rear view side by dide with the Gixxer, so I grabbed my phone as fast as I could and floored the 2010 CTS. My estimates, put them around the 140-160 mark, as it took me a while to catch them, doing 130 myself.
The biker in the video also replied:
LOL! Nice video bro, but yeah my bike is a 750. This race all came about due to some smack talking between me and the owner of the 420,000$ beauty. So i had to show him my 3,500$ beast! And yeah the speedo in his vehicle read 164mph as i walked past him, so you would be safe to say i was tucked and ducked at around mid to high 170mph. However after you said cut we found ourselves heads up at a light on palmer and i had a lil trouble putting him away as he hung with me through 1st and 2nd.

Yeah its fun to play with bikes in my ISF. I have had a few run ins with some sport bikers...mainly the showboater with a 600. They think they can outrun me but they're always back off when it gets past 120mph and they can't hold on anymore. LOL

Yeah, the owner admits LFA destroyed him till 170 mph and then they had to slow down.
Seriously, this LFA owner is the retired guy from Atlanta. What is he thinking? He would end up totalling that LFA with those type of shenanigans.

Do you know for a fact its the same guy from Atlanta? I really doubt he's going to risk racing his LFA in Austin, TX which is nowhere near Atlanta. There have been many LFA deliveries since January...and some of them were Silver.

Yes, good point.
Since the silver one I had seen before belongs to the Atlanta gentleman, I assumed it was him. I agree, if it is in Austin TX, it must be someone else.

Yeah, the biker admitted LFA was ahead till 165 mph. He did not start reeling the LFA in till 170 mph and then they had to let off.

BTW i got a 600 that will destroy you....well atleast the body is a 600
would be impressive if he hung with a 900,929,1000,1200,1300, or a 1400....i kind of expect him to destroy the rest of them atleast for awhile

It does not say, but probably they went at it from 10 - 20 mph rolling start.
The GSX-R 750 of recent years are capable of 1/4 mile in low-10 seconds compared to low-11 seconds for the Lexus LFA.
