Do you think this is true?
My buddy has an 07 Shelby GT500 with a Kenne Bell 725HP 2.8H Billet Twin Screw Supercharger kit with the "Mammoth" inlet system!...it only has like 500 miles on the car. lol.. beautiful vehicle.. He took me for a ride in it.. and this car would push me back in my seat through EVERY gear..
He told he beat a stock Yamaha R1???....i dont see this happening..i mean, it's a fast car and all.. but it's beating a BIKE?!
what do you think?
It's a "super snake" also...forgot to add that
for sure...i'm putting it on youtube, and talking him into racing a guy with an R1... i think it'd be a D*MN close race....this car is unbelievably fast...he's pushing so much boost its crazy
the power to weight ratio of bikes is hard to match with a car, however it could be a close fight.
I would bet that the operator of the bike just wasn't skilled enough, or balsy enough to launch the bike to its full potential.
I sat down with a calculator and figured my bike is the equivalent power/weight of coincidentally ~725hp in a 3k lb vehicle. I have raced my friend on his r1 many times, and he USUALLY wins, however sometimes my skill at launching gets the best of him because the r1 is hard to launch than my bike.
The way i see it, the r1 should be faster, but its at the mercy of the operator.
Another fasctor is the condition of the race, some bikes use high gearing, with high redlines and cant reach speeds as high as a car with similer power/weight could, for instance, my bike can do 0-60 in 2.7 seconds and probibly spank that mustang most likly , but it tops out at just under 160, in a race that takes place at higher speeds the car will probibly dominate.
