...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. That’s just not acceptable. I need to figure out how to get the bike faster now, lol.

Haha! To be fair though, 650hp/650tq is pretty legit!

ZL-1 is no slouch. The new breed of fast cars are all comfortably under 3 seconds to 60. Better start looking into wheelie bars...

Well, until you get there, look at it from another perspective ... maybe he was saying "Holy Shat", Harleys just don't do that

Well, he got a jump on you right, quick and the dead, quick and the dead

1) Be the first to hammer time!

2) Time to focus on power to weight: See what you can do to lighten the bike and... a huge source of increasing power to weight, don't look at just the bike,; maybe it's time to eat more fish and less burgers

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.....
