hehe, coulda answered that one for ya lol, hmmm, then again, if bike had wheelie bar, would that have helped? :cheers:
still the bike were only 0.4 second behind.
the car has 3 times the weight but 4 1/2 times the power
That turned out as I expected... Except for the first race... I was like: WTF?!? :o
Who the hell would think that a boat (even with a full speed running start) could beat an indie car? :roll: 75 MPH vs 200 MPH. :dunno:
Cool vid though. :thumb:
that wasn't a fair race, it shoulda been like a stretched busa against that car, then it would be fair in my eyes.
The indy car still would have won... It's an indy car. :dunno:
fomula one cars rock
:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
there's something absolutely sick about the way Indy cars sound.
i love it.
Wait, was it an Indy car or an F1 car? Those two have HUGE differences between them...
it looks like a formula 1 to me... I might be wrong. But then again the boat isn't the best of the boat world either.
I did drag boats in Arizona...114 MPH was the fastest ours did and we were not the fast class. their boat 78 :? ...My guess it's all wrong.
It's like running a CBR250RR and a 10,000HP funny car against each other and seeing which is faster.

The boat....I was just part of the crew...
What's the bar in front of the motor for?
The little tiny chrome bar...the start rope went over it.
Kept the rope from catching the carbs /aircleaners at the start.
yeah, needed some place to put it after pull starting that beast :mrgreen:
There is another top gear or fifth gear video where they have a r6 or r1 can't remember, race a porsche carrera 2 and the porsche wins.
It's definitely an F1 car. Indy cars don't rev that high. The nose is the give-away though, not to mention the fact that the mc said that the Honda engine in the car was only one of the many built for the Grand Prix (F1) season.
f1 = europe
indy = usa
F1 <> Indy == No Clue...
Whatever... It's a race car vs a street bike... That's like racing a drag bike vs a street car. :dunno:
TOP SPEED
F1: 225 mph
IRL: 230 mph
HORSEPOWER
F1: 830 mph
IRL: 650 mph

IRL: 3.5-liter V8
WEIGHT

Wait, I thought Indy cars used 4-cyl engines. What are the ones that look like those but use 4-cyl engines, then?
Go-karts?
lol
If I ever win the lottery, the first thing I'm going to buy is an F1 car. I might even take it down the highway for a spin. It'd be worth all that money bailing myself out of jail. *if* they caught me.

I'm with you....
I have a video of a firebird t/a racing a GSXR 1000 from a 85 mph roll down the interstate. Funny thing was the Firebird won.
