fastest color?
« on: April 28, 2013, 08:48:58 PM »
I'm curious. I've read jokers claiming a certain color is fastest. Who has the fastest C14 proven with a time slip from a 1/4 mile drag strip and what color is the bike? Mine is neutron silver and has a time slip showing 9.92 et @ 144 mph. I know Spaz has said his silver has tied mine exactly. Maybe we can settle this matter once and for all? Lew  :stirpot:  :popcorn:

You would have a better chance of settling the KiPiss debacle.

There is no debate.  The first year, 2008, was the only year without an electronic speed limiter.  Therefore it is the fastest.  If you are wondering about quickest in the quarter mile that is another matter.

Is that NA??

FWIW, Silverdammit (The ORIGINAL Neutron Silver) is and always will be first, therefore faster than the rest ;)

Ok, What have you done to your C14 to get that kind of ET?  My best run is 10.8@126MPH.  You are spanking me by a whole second.  A stock ZX14R usually runs in the 9.5-9.9 range....

Neutron Silver got here first.  Matter settled.

Doesnt matter if you won by a day, or a year...

I am going to say the fastest color is whatever color Fretka's turbo is. If we are going to have drag races and talk smack, my wager of a six pack is on the turbo colored one. My red one is not the quickest, nor is it the fastest - it just has the best looking rider  :finger_fing11:

Ah, he is the turbo guy.  That explains it.  Although then we go from the time being to fast to it being too slow (for what it is)....

Yep, she's turbocharged by Chris Jones. That didn't come cheap. I'm still expecting the bike to do better than 9.92 et @ 144 mph. Lew

Well, my C14 goes around 750mph when in my garage, which is just over a 1-second quarter-mile.

It all just depends on your point of reference.  Mine is a point in space just over my head :-)

So, the answer is Candy Arabian Red! :deadhorse:

What color is a stop light?

What color is the reflective mirror in your headlight?  Yep, Silver is what excelerates light.  Black is a big light sucker as it knows it can't keep up.  The go light is green yes?  All lined up for another stop light ;D
