Not a truck but I have killed a couple bikes in my 87 Grand National... Me and a buddy absolutely destroyed an r1 at the end of last summer up here. the first race we got the jump and it was over, he had no chance. the second race he got like a 1 car jump for a second or two before we jogged right by him. both runs were from a 40 roll and the rider claims to have been going 150 when we passed him and we passed him up pretty quickly. so best we could figure was that we ended up letting out of it somewhere around 180 which in a stock suspension g body, thats a lil scarey. my gn made 551whp and 613wtq on the old setup. never got to dyno the new setup before i sold it but it is def making 600+whp.

lol no bike is beating a bike, maybe a 250 scooter or something, but a bike like a gsxr1000 or ZX10r 2010 or newer, no way. i trap 130 in the 1/8th in a car, and i have trouble staying ahead of those, traction is the main issue.
but a truck no way

I beat a 636 ninja twice a couple weeks ago, once from a 40 roll and once from 80. It wasn't murder or anything, but he wasn't about to pull on me at all. 18psi on a newer 4.8L with an oversized turbo... An R1 surely would have walked around me though.

454ss, if you trap 130 in the 8th there arent going to be many bikes that can even keep up with that, unless your car is just a strait 8th mile car. I'm pretty sure there are a couple videos of flacos truck out running litre bikes.
From my experience you have to get them from a slow roll, catch them in the middle of their first gear. If you have the grunt and traction 600's are easy pickins, 1000's are a bit harder but can be done.
