RE: Chris Harris video: GT2 RS vs Panigale part 2
Discussion
If you want to go silly b taxi, try bigcc turbo busa or the flying Dutchman with 267mph on that runway with a road legal bike.
A veyron won't do that and costs about 14 times that of the bikes mentioned,
My point is if you want to match the Porsche at least put it up against something abit more every day than the panigale.

I'd love to see an Underground TT Lambo against the quickest superbikes - would be much more fair on the car! 
I'd like to see one against Ghostrider's turboed Hayabusa, that would be more comparable to an Underground Racing Lambo!Dan gate master said:

of course, because a GT2 RS is any 'everyday' car...........(not)
didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know (though the bike did surprise me), but it made great viewing. nice one Chris.
Velogee a Porsche gt2 is not exactly a veyron is it!
Put the Porsche up against a s1000rr or any delimited jap 4 cylinder hyper bike and it will get beaten on that runway, why are you surprised at bike being so quick? They weigh nothing (circa180kg) and make between 170 and 210hp these days .

"In the second installment of Chris's car versus bike showdown it's time to throw some corners into the equation"
Erm... did it?
Nope. They are still trying to get the car to win in a straightline. Over 170 then.............most relevant.Erm... did it?
Still don't understand why they using the over-hyped pretty Italian thing on the bike front versus efficient no bulls
t teutonic masterpiece on the car side? Surely use a BMW S1000 as the bike benchmark, Panigale is for hanging on a wall in your loft apartment!Good video otherwise. Keep them coming - its a loooooong winter.

Chris,
If you are reading this we will lend you one of our 9E20 Porsches - it would crush that bike at Brunters. Ran yesterday at Brunters with 225mph on dash and 213.7gps.

It actually would be a pretty interesting feature to see how just far you can go to tune the turbo beetle so that it is on parity with a superbike..... Ken's building the fastest 911turbo's in the country so at least we know our 4 wheeled friend has a fighting chance...

What we really need to even this up is a well built director in a remapped 335d...
That would do the trick I think 
Shirley the best job here is just an AWD 911 Turbo with lots of power and someone who doesn't care much for clutches or very soft tyres?
When you watch the video the bulk of the lead is taken up in the first few seconds. I'm guessing the bike is pulling almost 1g right off the bat while the GT2, err, isn't.
