That's a pretty cool vid to watch, however in the real world:


It's hard to beat a bike off the line in the streets, but normally it takes somewhere around 550-600hp for a car to beat a bike, even at a roll. There's several vids of Supras racing bikes on youtube and streetfire. It may be possible for a Tib to beat a bike with a little less than 500hp. wink1.gif

I got a race, my car vs a bike

Each vehicle has to carry 17bags of groceries and 3 passengers.

Thought so.
