Kids and Their Cars

[shreveportSS]

Have no idea what a "TBSS" is, but Concours stats I have show 2010-2012 with 1/4mi 10.76sec @ 126MPH.  Of course, those are what I read.  I would never attempt to do it, myself

Also:  0-60 2.9sec  0-100 6.8sec

No, I don't remember the sources.  But I did seek confirmation from several places before making my "official" notes.

My TBSS will carry me down the 1320 quicker than my Connie. Close though. 11.0@122mph to 11.23@124

A four wheeler with an auto is way easier to launch than a Connie. Even so 11.0 is too fast, you must be running nitrous.

I did a web search on TBSS, and the only vehicle related site I saw was "Trail Blazer Super sport".  It seemed devoted to hopping up GM Trailblazers.  The man has an 11 second SUV?   that seems pretty fast for an overgrown station wagon.  I would say it could not be stock.   I would race him with my C-10,  from Indianapolis to Chicago, and we each get only 5 gallons of gas.......

The crew I ride with (a Christian cycle group - and a bunch of nice guys) is full of mostly cruisers and G-Wings.  My Brother has the M109R muscle cruiser, and after our ride up to Lake George, NY we switched bikes, and not only was my brother in love with the ergos of the C14 (which surprised me, but I guess the clam shell position of the M109R  cramps his lower back) he apologized for the relaxed pace the group set. He said, "I had no idea we were keeping you back. This bike is amazing!" While riding in the group he was keeping to the 65 MPH speed limit just above idle in 5th gear. I told him, "yup, I just idle along saving gas while you guys are on the stick."
During our ride up I87 to Lake Placid, NY we were in a line staggered and were passing a convoy of trucks. we moved left to pass, and punched it. My brother leaped our entire line of bikes when we moved right after the pass. He said, "Bro! this bike is sick! I moved out to pass with the group and the bike kept going! I just couldn't stop!" I told him leaving it in 5 or 6th gear was enough to keep up while we passed, bumping it down to 4th gear was way over kill.

Anyway, he may join the forum soon. He's been looking at used C14s on line and at the local bike dealers. He's in lust again, and has found a new excitement for biking  in the C14. The funny thing is he's the one that turned me onto this bike. Back in 2007 he saw the new C14 and said it was the bike for me. He was right, and I suspect its the bike for him too.

I love showing people what my bagger can do.


Just don't try and follow me, cause I'll check out on 'ya.

You are too big... I am only 160

LOL- I did the same thing!  I said "Trailblazer??? OK, obviously he means something else".  But found the entry on Wikipedia, finally.  The TBSS has a huge, 6 liter V8 gas engine with an *estimated* 0-60 of 5.8 sec and 14.2 1/4 mile.   Even though it is an SUV, it looks like it wouldn't lag that far behind my Infiniti G37S (0-60 in 5.3 sec, 1/4 mile in 13.6), but only in a straight line, of course.

The Concours will beat both, fairly easily, stock.  Well, unless you weigh 600 pounds or something

I was talking to my daughter on the phone awhile back and she told me her boyfriend just bought a Harley, suppose to be a really beefed up motor on it. I told him to ask him if he wanted to race for pink slips, after she told him what I rode, he said "NO THANK YOU" 

Is there something we need to know about your "daughter"?

Stock, mine went 13.8. It ain't stock no more.
here is a nice little streetable one. Later it went 9.03@151.
NSF for language. GD word at the end.
TT TBSS does wheel stand

DAAAAAMN!

Well, if non-stock, all kinds of things are possible (for the Concours, too).  Of course, the whole point of this thread is that there are very few non-exotic, stock street cars(/trucks) that can outperform a plain 'ol, stock Concours.

the big "fart can" equipped cars are so fast...just ask their drivers

[Pokey]

I can think of a few big fart can cars that are "very fast". Of course they do not look anything like that.

That baby looks fast just sittin still! Add a couple of 'R' stickers and you got a rocket right there!

[gPink]

Noise makes power. The kid will probably buy a Harley next.

Don't forget the 'Turbo' ones too 

[wally_games]

Probably has Nitrous and is VERY fast!! 

[martin_14]

guys, guys... you're missing the point. What makes it so fast are the tinted windows, duh!

And once he gets done tellling all the riceboys how fast he is, they can all sit down to a full course meal using that rear bumper as the dinning table.

I lost a race to a plant manager with a professionally hopped up 928s Porsche.  I was on my 20 year old bone stock Yamaha XS 850 with a plexiglass windshield.  He took me pretty smartly but we were up to 105 or so before he went by.  Later, I told him I still won.  He looked puzzled so I explained that he spent $77,900 on a car that he put about another $20,000 into just to beat a guy on a 20 year old $900 motorcyle riding on bald dunlap touring tires.   With a smile he told me to "go forth and reproduce" and went back in his office. 

BTW shreveport, those are some pretty fast SUV's.  I'll bet the one in the video doesn't haul many kids to soccer practice anymore.
