Lots of cool videos on what it takes for a car to beat a 600cc sport bike.

it takes a rocket of a car to handle almost any sportbike. The power to weight ration is almost uncomparable. The bigger cc bikes make it no contest...all of which is a moot point after your eardrums are shattered by that lethal high pitch screaming exhaust note...I give em all the credit, they are scary fast machines but I couldnt listen to that wailing all day.

At least the person with the '93 has some taste... they didn't go with typical cowl and got something more unique.

The 5.0 is sweet. The only thing I don't like is the Saleen wing.

And one more thing, it's an automatic.

I'm not a huge fan. But I just like to drive them and cry at how slow my truck is.

You just need to get rid of that little V-6 and drop in the 5.8L thumbsup

1. It's a 5.9

2. It's not even worth my time. My "little" V6 just happens to have more displacement than your "big" V6. Plus it's a 5spd. Yet, still very slow.

Isn't that V-6 only rated at like 195 hp? You could always change the rear end.

I think it's less, like 175 horsepower. Somewhere near 220lb torque helps a little.

Maybe I'll put 4.10's in the rear eek

But my mileage is bad enough.

Any money I have to play with goes 2 places: my IRA and my CBR.
