Gotta love those "dark years" cars, Tarik.
My sister has an '85 Corvette that is slower in every respect that her 300C and slower in most respects than her F150. Ha!
She bitches and moans about it all the time...how it's so embarrassing and has no resale and whatnot. I keep telling her that's just how cars were back then. All of them, with one or two exceptions. Easy enough to remedy in most cases (probably not yours!).

Or, if you loose, you can say "I'm breaking in a new engine and can't use more than half throttle..."
Seriously, it's been about 50 years since the end of the muscle car era around 1968 and this new age of super engines. Or, put another way, EPA regs cost us about 50 years of engine development... (Or did they force it on us?)

The 2020 ZL1 is a low 11 second car, and your Harley is in need of a serious makeover to play with him.
i could have take him, pretty easily, at a light, to the quarter, etc. but I have a ton of sweat and cash in my Harley.
You need to take your beating like a man or do something about it....
There are many things needed to get there, and HP is just one of a dozen.....

My friend has a Buell all set-up for dragging with NOS. With the stock length swingarm, he would look like a ski jumper, with the bike still doing a small wheelie with most of his body overhanging the handlebars. He would get the rice rockets from light to light. After 140 they would finally pass him. That bike was years in the making and refining.

...just a little. At a stoplight and a couple lanes over was a new Camaro ZL-1. We take off, not hard. He then gets on it, then I do. He pulls a couple of car lengths and stays ahead until letting off around 100. Thats just not acceptable. I need to figure out how to get the bike faster now, lol.
