> It’s hilarious that this thread is so long, clearly the bike has the power advantage, and should crush that car. The fact that any of us have seen a bike beat by a car with less than 600 or 700hp proves that some riders are better than others. I mean, half the STI owners I’ve seen at the track are lucky to get under 2.0 60’, but the car is capable of a 1.6 or 1.7. Why would anyone expect bikes to be different?

This post is so stupid it actually made my head twitch for a second.
