think his is around the 500kg mark so not far from it, his doesnt break traction unless he wants it to, his puts up consistantly very low 11's, they are seriously dangerous cars and deserve a lot of respect but when you can blow away bikes and see the look on their faces it makes it all worth while
not unless you can see the look of me laughing from the back of my helmet
( I think I' struggle, have to borrow the GSXR off the cousin to give you a scare when I wont get out of the mirrors! like the rest of the sunday bikers
)
you can tell some of them really know what they are doing though, real hard to keep hold of, on the wrong road its say bye bye time! hell I know a guy in a clio cup who is danm near impossible to keep hold ofdown tight lanes, the driver/rider makes the difference!
There are a lot of guys with various 7's who go down our local popular bike route, never got the chance to stop with them and see what they are running, a few of them sound like bike engined ones, I think they go to scalp bikes, they get a shock when you wont go away!
Seriously though I have big respect for cars that are genuinely as quick as quick bikes, good fun! had a go in a CSR260 and loved it! Blowing away bikes is easy as 90% of riders can't get anywhere near the bikes abilities, not saying I can but closer than most of these guys who like to talk about riding fast at the pub. Cars limits are easier to get nearish than bikes IMO having tried both, as with bikes that last few% of greatness is what seperates the men from the boys which us mere mortals cannot hope to emulate, like melandri's one handed massive slide the other week, or various mcrae antics!
It must just be savage and break traction everywhere with over 300bhp, either that or its set up very very well! I think I would have more fun in a well set up 7 rep with 150-200 bhp and light as possible, personally thats what I would be looking for in a track/sunday car. That thing looks amazing! right up my street,
I suppose if you have a lot of experience of his sort of car then you like the extra power for the challenge!
Can bearly afford to take the bike to the track at the mo though, so no chance in a car.
