the guy on the bike was laying on the brakes seriously early it seemed to me.

It was a stupid R1. R1s are stupid. Then again, it WAS a Carerra. That's a damn nice sports car.

Which would you rather have:

MV Agusta F4 Tamburini

or

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

[jake42]

um wrong thread i think alpha.  this was about the R1 vs. the Porsche.

[Alphamazing]

God damn.

Umm. I'll go back and edit that so it's relevant to this thread! :lol:

[cobalt135]

Ya, Jeremy Clarkson is a dumbass

Oh, I hate cars, so I would rather have the MV

[vtlion]

if this is the clip I think it is, the main problem is that the bike rider was in serious danger of being crushed by the car on some turns.  

A more  accurate experiment would have been to let each run the course individually.

as the host said, the car has more grip in the corners b/c it's got 4 tires - plus it can handle more corner g's than a motorcycle.

I agree, everything i stupid

[kvgs]

I think if it would have been a timed race the bike woulda won, but racing a car and bike side by side is just plain dangerous and dumb, of course the bike lost because he wanted to stay the hell away from that car for his lifes sake

[pantablo]

naill is a very good racer. I'd love to hear his side of it. probably not his bike and suspension not set up properly-more important for the bike than the car.

I have a friend that has a Carrera 4S.  It is black with black wheels with a polished lip, and a big whale tail spoiler.  It sounds like a demon.  I love that car.  When you rev it up, the hair stands up on the back of your neck.

I should have been a cardiologist, I guess, and I could afford one too.  Oh, wait, I'm not smart enough.  Dang.

i agree. He would have been crazy to try to pass the car in the curves. He also metioned that the car was awd. I never knew that about Porsches.

That's what the 4 in "Carrera 4" means.  911's are rwd.
