Talking about making him road pizza.. As long as you don't do anything that he can't anticipate then you have nothing to worry about because not only do bikes accelarate fast but they stop damn fast too. And I still don't even think Kenny Tran could run with a super bike with some one riding it that knows what they are doing a.k.a. Nikki Hayden ext.

i dont know, hard to believe that a civic can smoke a sportbike. even bikes in 80s r running 11sec, and some even 10sec 1/4 mile. keep in mind that quite a few sportbikes have 160mph+, some even 170mph+. have u ever notice that when u get into top end, ur car goes slower and slower (rising speed), well, when u r in 5th gear 2000 away from redline, they r still in 5th gear, getting ready to go to sixth gear.
i think u beat them because of road conditions. bikes cant go full throddle on uneven road. at full throddle the bike basically dont have much traction in their front tires. and if they hit a small bump they could be flying. so its unlike that any one driving a bike will prove to u that they have a faster machine. why? because they know they r faster. thats all they need to know.
ofcourse maybe u could have a car that fast. but if its that fast, u'll smoke the Vipers too than. cuz a Yamaha beat a viper from 50mph-160mph. and we all know that yamaha dont even make the fastest sportbikes.
well, if ur car is as fast as u say, then props to man. u got one of the fastest street car on this planet earth.
i am not writing this because i am a hater for cars. i drive a gsr myself. but my main ride is still ducati 996 (not the fastest bikes), but in my memory, i smoked a supra turbo only reving to 9000rpm, keep in mind that my bike redlines at 13,000rpm +. and at 8000rpm my bikes screams already. so sound cant really be put info a factor if they r reving or not.

Sirg- You have the Ducati 996. You lucky bastard. One of the most refined machines out there. I wish I could get one. The only ones around here for sale are going fast. Oh well, I'm happy with my lovely GSX-R 750. Not the fastest bike around but I like it.

its a nice bike, and it turns a lot of heads too. but compare to japanese bikes my bike is slower i think. but then how often can u got 10th/10th anyways.
btw GSX-R is one hell of a fast bike. personally i hate driving a honda bike, but i like my honda car hee hee. ironic.
well, i hope no one try to race my 996 in the freeway, cuz u know what? U WILL WIN, i am not into 10th/10th kind of driver on any public roads, expecially when there is nothing to gain from it. so all u car drivers out there, dont bother us. we will not risk our lives showing u that we can indeed smoke ur car. we never think competing with a car is competition. we just wana ride, thats all. so next time, leave us bike riders alone. hee hee.

hee hee, i dont know who kenny tran is. hee hee. i am not a drag race fan. i go to road race on cars/bikes. i dont know, maybe ur right, but still leave the top speed and issue. i am not sure what tranny u have, maybe ur gears up to go 170mph plus? anyhow, i am not gonna argue over this, but i did mention that a VIPER R/T 10 LOST to a Yamaha sport bike back like 2years ago. maybe the Viper is not fast enough i guess.
anyhow, good luck with tuning. if u can beat a bike, u gotta have a very well tuned car. congrats.

If I had to race against the same bike as the Viper did, I would lose for sure. I can't wait to race a Viper though. BTW, I've just remember that a couple year ago in a magazine a car race a bike and won, it was a Ford Escort Cosworth.
