Not condoning this but...

...it certainly raises a few questions:

- is that a flat 6 or some Vette engine substitute?
- are those bikes really trying or are they just loafing?
- do the drivers have a death wish?

physics.

cycles have horrible aero.

I'm not buying it. It's not like the car is a targa.

In some segments, it looks like the bikes are not trying all that hard.

I find it very fortuitous that the car had a camera mounted in the right position to catch the action. Almost like they planned it.

Any internet asshat can claim big hp.
1200hp? Show me the dyno sheet. The real one.

The only part that made it look believable was how fast they overtook other cars. Alarmingly so...

That looks like some Eddie Bello clips I've watched...

[froggert]

it'd depend on what kind of bikes the porsche was running against, the skill (or lack thereof) of the riders and whether they were trying. i'm pretty sure my 1098 with about a 2:1 power to weight ratio would take the 911.

Our very own Juan Ruiz's 10 second car.

[creaturecat]

Jeez.
That car is fast.

[scottmandue]

I thought we all agreed that street car needs no more than 300-400HP?

Chalk up another one for Porsche drivers everywhere.......

It's not THAT hard to take a bike, even a very hairy sport bike starting at highway speeds. I've never had anything fast or powerful enough to do it, but when you're talking about high$$$, ultra-high HP, it's not that hard, as stated, the aero of a bike sucks, and starting at 60-70, they are at a disadvantage because they are getting ready to hit their bad aero spot. When you start talking about cars with 1000-2000hp, sure, those'll smoke most bikes.

That's the worst part, ok, you want to kill yourself, that's fine, but where they were playing there were way too many other cars and not enough space. It wouldn't take much for it to end up being catastrophic.

Looked legit to me. Didn't see any ducs out there.
