of course you fail, sean.

the exotics around here never want to play. just once or twice a guy in a gallardo did a little traffic chase, but usually they are in the slow lane and won't acknowledge my presence.

Veyron = butt-ugly IMO.
The McLaren F1 has never been equaled.

Good GAWD if those 2 DIDN'T wipe the road up with ANY sportbike, something is terribly wrong.

You'd have to measure the actual contact patch to get precise numbers...but I'd say given the ridiculous width of the tires on either one of those cars they have 10-20 TIMES the contact patch that a bike has…giving them an insurmountable advantage in those corners to lay the power to the ground like they’re doing. You can see the Porsche even breaking loose there near the end.

Top Gear took a Veyron to the max in one episode and came close to the 250 mark…but also stated it could only do that for 17 miles before the tires would stread, but that it would run out of fuel before 12 so that didn’t matter.

Still…2 awesome ass cars and to think ANY bike could come close to hangin, even when they’re obviously playing around with him/her would be an honor and not an ego crush

My guess is that puts it into MotoGP bike price range, and I suspect that the Veyron will still be faster, as bikes are limited by wheeling up over like 100-120mph. I think that the lead that would get you, plus lower aero over say 150 would put you out in front to stay.

give me the same amount of money, I will have a nice house, a big garage, and a fucking stable full of bikes. Fuck you guys, I don't need the best thing ever to have fun.
