Yep, and yet it manages to hustle around most tracks at very respectable times. It's not as simple as power-to-weight ratios. That fact apparently is not understood by you.

While were going back in history a bit

What's up with your previous post concerning your next bike that's going to destroy the GT3 around RA, HMMM? Talk about track spack etc...

No comment?

Cat got your tonque?

Oh that's right the straw man went on about how it's a fundmental truth that street bikes are faster than cars or some nonsense.

That bike will LOSE against a GT3 at road atlanta especially with you riding on it.

You didn't read the article or didn't understand it

4 wheel drive will allow a car to run faster laps with less power so that helps the GTR but in the article they mention power to weight and it's relevance from an engineering stand point. Sort of like it takes a certain amount of power and weight to go down the drag strip at x speed.

Another mis-quote. I said if you want to beat a GT-3 for cheap, here's how you do it (referring to the 2011 ZX-10R)

Oh that's right the straw man went on about how it's a fundmental truth that street bikes are faster than cars or some nonsense.
You're truly clueless. There are many videos out there like this one

Did you even look at the article or do you have to argue no matter what people post lol.

Also, I iterate again, I was vastly unimpressed with the GT-R's performance on the track. It did not live up to my expectations at all.

I can't believe this is still going on lol.
