    Had it been a road race, that bike would have gotten smoked. Assuming the driver has any skill of course.

    Average stock sportbike does really well against the average stock sportscar in traffic light racing. Beyond that the lap and 1/4 mile times speak for themselves. Cars own the track.

    4 large contact patches > 2 tiny contact patches. Just look at MotoGP vs. Formula 1 lap times.

    it's obvious, in turns cars, F1, what ever it is wins. Cars have more contact patch.

    and its obvious bikes kill cars from a straight point

    ^ I love that video

    1500hp? Does anyone else doubt it?

    That should be good for a sub 8 e.t. at well over 170 mph. That car looked nowhere near that fast. Sure, it's not a dragster, but this was from a roll and the bike seemed to do even better as speeds got higher.

    On the other hand, the sort of power to weight the bike has might be good for a low 7.x ET. I would think traction would be a serious issue for either??

    Not true. Cars slaughter bikes in 1/4 mile times


    I believe the current 1/4 mile bike record is 5.232 on a hydrogen peroxide rocket bike:

    Hennessy got his viper up to 1500hp...Of course he was stripping the teeth off of his gears left and right and had to dial down boost to keep the car in a straight line... but 1500 probably possible.

    Downforce on the F1 car plays a huge factor in that.

    oh man, this shit again?

    based on the title, I thought the thread was going to be more than a shitty youtube video made by some amateur

    was the internet invented 2 weeks ago? c'mon guys...these sorts of videos (supercar vs. bike) have been around forever

    The new underground cars are much faster... the last video had this busa holding them and/or beating them... Now they put the hurting on it. Watch the whole video.
