i have a friend with a 1000 awhp 3000 gt vr4 he has turbos as big as my head he says he will hurt my feelings from a stop i would believe so but he says it will be a good race from a roll so im just thinking i will race from a 100mph roll b/c he is awd lol!

 

Because a lot of people on sportbikes can't ride the bike to it's ability. This past summer I passed a small group of sportbikes in some tight curves on my harley only to have them fly by me when the road became straighter. What you have to remember is that a lot of riders can't corner to save their life and a lot of guys in sports cars can really tear up the curves.

It's the driver or rider and if both are of equal skill the bike will win 99% of the time.

 

I've said that on all my related posts. It's the rider. "Big ***** Can Win It All" and Skill is the main factor.

 

When it comes down to it, any car that's worth it's weight in gold handle better than a sportbike. Sportbikes in general have a better power to weight (faster 1/4 and 0-60) than a lot of stock street cars. A Z06 might be a poor man's race car but it will have a higher top end, change direction, and stop better than about 95% of all street legal bikes. And off the top of my head I can't think of one bike that can do all those things better. For all the "weekend warriors" that play with their toys it does have alot to do with ablilty. Roadracing is roadracing. If you compare the highest forms of racing G.P. bikes get walked on by F1 cars running the same courses.

 

Any autocrossers in the house?

 

Boosted521,

r1's, zx10's, 1000rr's, and gsxr1000's all trap in the the mid 140's stock. sorry, but a 600whp car isn't going to do that.

Well I am here to state that you are wrong! My supra is or was my daily driver up until the start of this year, Due to the purchase of my blade. Anyway I ONLY got 474.3KW@WHEELS which is ONLY 636.1HP@WHEELS. Now these numbers are at the wheels NOT the motor and I personally have done a 10.3 with a terminal speed of 142mph! Now on average, most street riders will have a hard time catching me on a straight line off the lights! Most riders including myself, cannot use the full potentual of the litre bikes capabilitys! I have time and time again put shame to peps on R1,Gixxers,Blades and 10ers, all the time from the lights in my supra! I aint watching no videos, as I am just quoting from my own experience and what I have seen my friends do! Most street riders will NOT do 11sec! Yes the bike is capable of 10s, but to lauch a bike to do that takes skill that most dont have! Where as in a car, any tom dick and harry can stomp on the excellarator...? I love bikes and in the twistys they are a weapon of choice, but we are talking about your local street rider have a few runs at the local street lights!

 

I totally disagre my modded Mitsu Evo tears down my 06 1kRR. Alot of cars can give you a good race. It's all good fun though.

 

I autocross a ton in my Evolution or my shifter cart.

One of my favorite things to do.

 

Could that be possible?? Are you comparing to 1/4 mile times?? Cos if we're talking bout top end speed..the CBR 1K will smoke any other car everyday..stock. Except for those really super cars..IMO.

 

I should have been more specific because when I said sportscar I didn't mean a Supra, RX-7, 3Z or anything else in the $45K-$65 range. Supercars and even though "inexpensine" ($70K) in comparison to most, the Z06 does 202 mph and is one of the best handling, stopping, and accelarating cars in the world. I said already most sportbikes w/ pro riders are faster than most supercars w/ pro drivers 0-60mph and 1/4 times. But top speed sportbikes can't run w/ supercars. Aerodynamics are a bitch and sorry to say a sportbike will never be as aerodynamic as a supercar. When you say hang that's a little open ended. It's all about traction, off the line, before the corners, in the corners, and after the corners. Sportbike will always be limited by 2 things areodynamics and it's greatest characteristic only having two wheels.
