This is a great article. 12 cars, a bike, and an F-18 in a standing mile comparison.

Wow! I would have loved to have been one of the drivens for that little experiment, including the bike even though I don't know how to ride.

Cool. The lambo only did one run cause they were afraid the clutch would give out. What a piece of crud. Man that yellow bird was impressive for being 18 years old. I want it!!!

Wild rides. Would have been sweet to be there and watch all the action in person. Funny that they call the bike a 2-wheeled Ferrari, yet choose to run the Lambo.

Awesome article.

you know youre in fast company when the Vette and the Lambo bring up the rear!...I'm with Herc on how impressive the "yellow bird" was...18 years old and still kickin booty...the pure race machines aside tho, the Saleen S7 was just plain awesome!...for a street legal car that was a mighty impressive showing.
