GTR just got better in my eyes, no car can keep up with a bike in a straight, I am surprised that a 4k lb car could out turn a bike

'02^^^^ no car can keep up with a bike in a straight? I completely disagree. Maybe 3800's can't but others can

Oh course it depends on the car and bike, but your average sport bike runs better than 11.5, and very few STOCK cars run in that realm, it is all about the weight......

were you at the track day? There was a R1 and I don't think he broke into the tens, If he did it was very slight

 

[02BlueGT]

Still faster than 11.5, but that could be the driver, a bike is manual, and scary to accel. on one wheel, so driver could make a couple sec difference

cars>bike... but that's only because you can run over the bike in a car.

That R1 should have been in the 10's but i have a feeling he was sand bagging it because he didn't have full leathers which would be required once he did run 10's. My dad's friend got a 1098 in the fall and I really like it, but when you consider that a CBR 1000RR can hang with a 1098 that costs atleast 8k more i couldn't justify buying one.

R1's are shitty bikes to drag, they come up real easy and hit a aerodynamic wall up top. They are good all-around cornering bikes though.

bob hit a 10.8 or something...he was sandbagging..plus if u watched, his front end was coming up a lot all down the track
