Only on Tv does a stock Z06 run down a liter bike at 120-130mph

Even a naked bike like the triumph.

Weird...this does not seem to be the same one we have around here in Raleigh. The one around here showed no signs of being a police car. It was also wrecked not long ago.

That Z06 wasn't stock. Police keep repo'd cars pretty much as the get them as you can hear from the exhaust sounds, and the tinted lights on it. How quick is a Triumph? I know it's FAR from a liter bike.

I've raced a Honda Superhawk 996 a few times with my car that has exhaust/intake/jetting and a good, ~160lb rider and walked it pretty easily from a 60 roll with a passenger in my car and the top off/windows down. Bikes are nasty from a stand still, not so much from any kind of a rolling start with anything less than a liter bike.

"Its the track version of GM's top of the line sports car".
The top of the line sports car is the Corvette in general, not the Z06...

Those guys are really smart! Right after he said that-

At 505HP it's not the strongest, and even at $100k it's not the most expensive
Yes, it's clear that he was saying the Z06 was most expensive and most powerful Corvette they make

Now that I'm at home and played it I can hear it better. I guess that's what I get for working, talking on the phone, and playing this in the background.

incorrect. he said its the top of the line track corvette at 100k. that was a 3lt 60th anniversary z06 meaning it was brand new. he said its not the fastest or the most expensive right after saying its the top of the line track corvette. also i think that one was given to them to use in the show and its not the real police z06
