Man I am impressed! That is one fast Cat, and I know they built Tigers
back in the '60's that went even faster in a straight line for the
European Ralleyes and LeMans. 

BUT: I don't know about you guys, but 9.anything at 137mph in the
quarter in a Tiger would be an "E" ticket ride 4 me. Crawling around
under the front of my Tiger, looking at all the spindly stuff holding
the wheels on the car, (even though its all pretty much brand new)
doesn't make me real keen to go anything like that fast in my CAT.

Now on my Ducati its another story....

".......nailed it.  A few seconds later he hit the nitrous button and we
were off,
closing on the Tiger ahead of us in no time. If we had ramps, it would
have
jumped over it.  He hit the brakes and there was no front end dive
either.

I can definitely say that was the fastest ride I've ever had.  If you
want
to know how to make a Tiger go fast and stick to the ground, call Jerry.
