Nice videos, first of it's kind I've seen like that.
HOWEVER, the guys on the bikes suck at riding. They aren't even "kneeing" the corner. If I was on my old *** GSXR1100, I would have left him standing there. Weight transfer is CRUCIAL.
Secondly, the driver of the 'vette is not very intelligent for following them that close. One slip by the bikes, which could have very well happened from the looks of the way they ride, and he would have ran them over. Now he's looking at manslaughter charges just because he wants to have fun.
Call me critical but being a father changes many things.

I noticed the guy in the vette wasnt wearing his seat belt or didnt have traciton on. Not smart cause if he lost it he would loose it big. And no seat belt on thats rough. I wouldnt do it. THats just crazy.

Nice video!
I'm curious though because the post title says "750 HP vette" but in the mod list you say it has 640whp.....
Don't tell me you think he's losing 110whp through the drivetrain.

Thats how he labeled it so I just passed it along. Doing the math it might be like 730hp and he just rounded it or something. At that point 20-30hp for description purposes doesn't matter too much, lol.

*edit* I see you edited your reply. Theres always been a debate over how much drivetrain loss a car really has. Whetether or not it's a fixed percentage or not. 110hp is a lot of lost energy.
That's why I will stick to quoting wheel horsepower. It is nice to think that I might have a 520hp SRT-4 though. lol

I'm pretty sure it's a fixed % which I think is something like 10-12% , If it was 12% in this case that would mean 90hp difference. Close...
