I have a lot of friends that ride sport bikes. They've talked before about how fast bikes
are around a road course but I tend to wonder just how fast they are in comparison to cars? How close hypothetically would a stock C5 ZO6 be in comparision to a Hayabusa or any other current production bike on a road coarse given a skilled driver/rider? I remember the old article of the Viper vs the then fastest production bike in one of the car magazines and the Viper won, so I'm guessing it's close but maybe the bike would win. That's also taking into acount an expert rider on the bike aka someone that's crazy. |

Not a bad time for the CTS-V considering it's a four passenger.... CADILLAC!!! Who would have thought a few years ago that a Caddy could just about run with ANY Porsche, much less keep up with a R1!!!! And the new XLS will have 440 hp along with the 4 wheel drive STS with 440 hp. Who knows what the new CTS-V will be like... I'm guessing they'll give it the new LS7.
Sorry... got a little off topic there.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) We have a road down here called Tail of The Dragon ( http://www.tailofthedragon.com ) with 318 turns in 11 miles. Even with street tires on my Camaro, crotch rockets couldn't keep up with me except on the straight parts. I had one guy that I practically had to come to a stop just to get him to pass me. I guess I understand why, after he passed , he couldn't loose me and I had to slow down. |
