Nah, car will always win.

How about an F1 car vs a motogp. F1 will lap a moto gp bike at Sepang inside 8 laps........

Why not have a pro rider and a pro driver to make the playing field a little more even. I think it's a fairenough comparison.

His car and his bike :dohsmiley:

A car like that will out brake a bike every corner and take a fast corner speed. 4 wheels vs 2 wheels, 4 wheels grip factor will win every time.

I think a pro driver will make the gap even bigger.

Think they tested the motogp duke at mugello once with the ferrari

they both came onto the main straight together and the duke just left the F1 for dead........then when the duke went onto the brakes for turn 1, the Ferrari went past still on full throttle !!!!!! the bike rider was stunned at how late they brake........but the F1 driver was amazed qt how the Duke just burnt him off down the straight !!!

Add a couple of caravans and and two taxi's chating to each other side by side to add some reality to it... Then see who laps quicker...... :ayyy:

Driving and riding ability aside, the comparison is supposed to be between a street car and a street bike(more or less). No point looking at F1 (you can't buy one or drive one around), or V8 supercars for that matter.
And as far as that's concerned, I'm surprised tat the bike does so well.

I reckon it only does cause it out accellorates car after holding it up, would be carnage if car was allowed to go for it, which is why it shouldnt and isnt allowed ( hahhaha sound like an older fart each day :lmao:).

Go on utube and search for Fifth Gear, which was a competitor of Top Gear for the Petrol heads in the UK.... But with decent drivers on it.... a good one is the "Fifth Gear Honda Civic Type-R vs CBR 1000RR Honda Fireblade" around Cadwell Park.... Tiff Needel and James Toseland playing around.... Bit of fun and games at the beginning, but they do a race against each other... The Blade was 8 seconds a lap quicker...

I dont know how that dude managed to lose on that Scuderia... that car is supposed to be faster than an Enzo around the track!! I know the Desmo is an awesome bike and all but to me in theory the car would walk all over it.

Typical rich prick, got all the toys in the world with not a clue on how to utilise them properly. He probably pays professionals to take his toys out for a thrash once a month.

Its a colloquial term used to describe people who display their extreme wealth in a manner deemed provocative by the average human. Not all wealthy people are rich pricks. Case in point is one of the Bill Gates' mates. Still lives in the 2 story 3 bedroom brick veneer home that he bought when he first got married 30 odd years ago. And when he retires he has made it public his kids won't get shit. It will all go to charity. If they are good enough workers they will become wealthy with the sweat off their own backs, not from inheritance.

Back to the desmo vs Ferrari.
Mind you he was driving that ferrari in a point and shoot fashion. Its a track car, not a drag car. I guess he could say he had the sun in his eyes, but so did Neevesy.

Spose it depends on which side of the fence you're on. I rekon his kids rekon he's a rich prick. Haha Can I ask what the FUK is the point of working that hard, making the money in the first place if you're not gonna use it for who you'd think you did it for in the first place? All talk diks like that, wait til his kids are grown up and have no jobs etc, OR get given one that earns them billions anyway. No fukin WAY will he throw it all away and leave his kids with nothin. If he does, he's a cunt, not a prick. Haha

Look at packer. Gave the lot to his son and now the assets are tumbling in value with every poor business decision that junior makes.
Another example of a display of wealth backfiring is actually my home town. A whole bunch of hard working blue collar types just happened to move into the same street. They all built 7 bedroom, triple garage McMansions with swimming pools and massive entertainment areas. All with the idea of entertaining all of their mates all the time. It was all good in the beginning but the gross display of wealth got to the guests and they simply moved on with their lives. In the end you had a street full of McMansions occupied by young well heeled couples (and many singles) that have no mates (and therefore no use for the McMansions) any more. Within months half of the street was up for sale.


Both sides of the fence need to learn a bit about each other, how they operate and what is it that they really desire.

Packer Jnr has no choice over the matter, he's the 3rd generation, and the rules are clear :lmao: plus, you need to have ability too, a father can only do so much, but what happens if you have an 'idiot son'? (meant generally, not directed at the Packers ... or rather, anyone who knows of them would appreciate the meaning of the term)

Lol but if I had his wealth I am pretty sure I would still spend it on toys. Just better ones than I have now:lmao:

Running on 16.5' slicks was a tad unfair, should've fitted it with a pair of 17's and something like Supercorsas, Power Ones etc etc, like the Fezza runs. But Car v Bike when they're on track at the same time is stupid, because their strengths are in different areas they get in each other's way.

did anyone see the artical i think modern motor or wheels first did with warren luff in a porsche 911 turbo or something against an r1 piloted by i think crusty fergusen at wakefield. remember wakefield is a tight track so with a car able to hold corner speed you think it would win. the bike won by about 6 seconds. not happy with that luff got a quicker porsche and amcn did the artical & the bike still won by over 3 seconds. Now an
F1 will shit it in on lap times over a Moto GP bike but the GP bike more than out accelarates an F1. At mugello a GP bike down the main straight accelarates to 330 odd kph & remember it has to brake a lot sooner than the car yet the car using the extra length still can't manage that speed.
