Most car drivers have it easier....they have usually 100,000-1,000,000 mi experience while bikers tend to spend much less time on their bikes. Also, when I am chasing a car around corners, I have everything to lose from one 3 inch spot of gravel that might be on my inch contact patch near full lean, while the car driver "usually" doesn't have to worry that much unless it is a washout. Most bikes that I know are not used to their full potential per the 95% 1" plus chicken stripes I see on liter bikes. I think in general, most of us would be way faster in a z06 then on our own bikes. That guy was smooth as silk and he still had trouble keeping up.

That said, there is no better feeling or look then leaned over in a corner rolling on the throttle...you can't get that feeling in a car, and you can't pop wheelies (MOST cars can't)

 

I was surprised at how the vette widened its lead on the straights. That thing must pull.

 

that was rowdy! didnt think the vette could take turns like that at 100mph. but he did. i also think the biker pulled back some when he could have passed if he had wanted. and i know his bike does more than 114.

 

stock z06 corvette has 405 horsepower with 335 mm rear tires... it probably could've taken the turns faster than that in the hands of a pro...


Also that was an 02-04 Z06... the 05-07s chevrolet makes now are 505 horsepower and have dry stump oil so they can take 1.0G turns and not have to lose oil pressure (just like F1 cars). In other words an 07 Z06 would've made both of them look slow.

 

nice upgrade in power in 1 gen isnt it?

 

100hp gain and 1.0G in turns...yeah id say they did an alright job for 1 generation ahah

 

The C6 Z06's only put down about 445-455 in stock form.

 

deffenetly a cool vid but i think that was an edited video cause it looks like there going 140 when they are only going a top of 114 i think that video was sped up or somthin...

 

i want roads like that around me. haha i found my self leaning in my chair at the turns.

 

I got a rush from just watching the vid. That guy on the bike was very smooth, and i think he could have passed the Z06 if he wanted to.
