Default Re: Turbo LS1 Camaro vs 07 Yamaha R1 vs Nitrous Viper

I agreed with you that there is no better bang for the buck than bikes - No question about it. I just said that at the end of the day.. you put all the money you want into either car or bike and the car will come out on top on the street. I made no mention of stock for stock.

There are plenty of ppl willing to put 20k into bikes. Look at all the turbo busa guys. And at the same time, there are guys willing to put 100k into their porsche/corvette/viper/supra to beat those bike guys. Is it worth it? To them it is. Cost is all relative. To ppl like you or me spending that kind of money is ridiculous... but dont kid yourself.. 200k on a car + mods to some ppl is the equavalent of you spending 10k on your busa.

btw. when you are going sub 10's on a bike, it wont corner anymore either. A stock R1 has enough power for 9's but there is no way its putting that to the ground without being strapped/lowered and a lengthened swingarm. Try kneesliding with that combo

it would cost what 4x the money + to get a car to do both?

stock for stock a bike beats 95% of all cars. $ for $ a bike is the fastest and cheapest thing u can get.

fuk having a bike that fast tho.thats some scarey shit.
