So, who had a dice with an R1 on the A3 yesterday???

[parklane]

Just had a Yamaha R1 rider in the showroom enquiring about Corvettes.

Allegedly he had trouble overtaking one on the A3 yesterday (09/04/07) at 170mph!!!

I'm guessing it must have been a Z06, but whose???

Or he could have been lying...?

LOL

It was Louis, our new Sales Exec, who spoke to this biker; unfortunately Louis didn't ask what colour it was, which would have narrowed things down a bit!

Knowing certain Z06 drivers leads me to believe that it will be either Black, Silver, or blue...

Was he wearing a blue uniform and holdimg a radar gun? If so it was someone else. If not, it was me - or I could be lying too (officer).

No seriously, not me this time but sounds right up my street (on a closed road or racetrack of course officer).

C5 Z06 in standard trim will do 169.4MPH at the end of a 1.25 mile distance

way too slow to keep up with an R1 then

maybe the guy should have bought a GSXR

Well mine is broken right now, so can't be me!

Although I did show three Kawasaki ZX9s my tailpipes on the A40 recently...

It might be only bikers that you notice trying

I have often wondered if no one tries it on with the vette or viper or if I just don’t notice.

[woof]

think it's the same headspace - flat out !

Oddly I think it's the ZR1's that I've heard of more getting driven at more than therse speeds, like a certain red Kent based one and one based somewhere in Surrey (a black one...)certainly the latter has been heard of doing in excess of 190...
