[FAST LS1]

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.

looks like the only advantage i see so far is horsepower...

Just because you can't see them it doesn't mean they aren't there. Watch the video bruecksteve posted. The 911 is clearly outbraking the bike by a wide margin.

The braking zone before the last chicane in particular ... the bike had just taken the lead on the back stretch, and the Porsche out-braked him before that chicane.
