Racing bikes? What sort of rwhp #'s or 1/4 mile trap speeds would a C5 Z06 need to run with a newer 600cc bike from a roll? I just don't have a clue as to what most bikes run now.

With that said, doesn't mean I can't joke about swerving into a bikes lane to beat him with a slow car. Did I really expect the OP to do it? No get for real man.
