[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.

I have 2 good friends who ride different bikes ( Sorry but I don't know the particulars of their bikes) at 2 different race tracks I compete on. Both of them hit fastest speeds (confirmed by radar) that range from 15 to 20 mph faster than I do, yet my lap times are consistantly lower (much to their chagrin). I have no reason to believe I am a better driver as one of the Bike drivers won his race class this year against sig competition. BTW one of the tracks is VERY fast ( Mosport) and the other significantly slower (Pro track at Shannonville).

Knowing how much they beat me in a straight line yet how I beat them lap time wise is easy proof to me that 4 wheels out handle 2 wheels anyday.

As to which brakes better? Who cares, brakes only slow you down.
