I do. Worst that is going to happen in my car at the track... even with a get off the 47 airbags go off and it gets expensive. With the bike... I could die.

I think my top end on both are pretty similar.

The bike will get there much faster...

My car is not faster than my bike but sure will give it a run.

Now when it comes to the twisties...

I am faster in my car because I'm a better driver than a rider.

I've attended several driving schools so I'm more of a car guy that just happens to be into bikes as well.

Said car...

The only way I could be faster in my car is if I drove it off a cliff.

A must-have for me, one of these days...(if their not outlawed by then)


And to answer the poll... It goes to the bike in every category except daily use. Along time ago I chose bikes over cars simply because of the cost to performance value, it just can't be beaten. Plus you can't wheelie a car whenever you want.

It's actually been a good car. Bought it totally stock with 9k miles on it back in 2002. It has never been into the dealership and has around 45k miles on it now.

It has been taken to a performance shop a couple of times for mods and that's it.

Mods include blower...cam..intake and full exhaust...3:90 gears...lowered and upgraded brake pads. Oh yeah and upgraded clutch.

It's a blast to drive.

I wish I had a car I could drive as fast as my last street bike was.

Peak...not that much but the torque is awesome. It's a hot street car and not a race car...still gets real good gas mileage if driven normal.

Hp at the wheels 496...torque 481 but it has around 400 ft. lbs. at only 2k rpm...again...at the wheels.

The car weighs around 3100 lbs...not too bad.

Cool thing about it...6th gear was useless for power. It was for fuel mileage only with little to no acceleraton on the highway. Now 6th even has some pick up.
