It's only fair to compare a turbo car with a turbo bike! Goodbye Audi RS2 Avant (shown in the below video).

300 clicks on a R1 turbo, now that's enough to eat a Bugatti!

(Gets good after 1min 50 seconds ish)

PS- Don't get me wrong, i'd be in the big bug on a rainy day if i ever won the lottery two weeks in a row . :roll:

You did the link wrong :roll: (you posted bike vs bike!).......and an RS2 is no Veyron......getting the power down is the problem of the overpowered bike...the Veyron doesnt have that issue to worry about. The video also isnt really a race.......the Audi appears to be cruising (not that I'd suggest its quicker than the bike....but if a bike waited for me in my Fiat I'd overtake it!!!!). Lets face it a well tuned Ultima will eat a Veyron any day....the bike isnt standard, so why line it up against a standard car (and a family estate car at that!). 300kmph isnt enought to eat a Veyron....it'll do way more than that!!!
Nice wheelying though.......power without control......would love to see it do some proper corners!!!! :wink:

Heh he... i knew that would stir people up, the point was, you can't ever compare bikes and cars and say that one is faster than the other - afteral, who cares?

I'm a BIG supporter of both, i love burning the remaining stocks of fossil fuels, either on two or four wheels.

PS- Just for the record, the R1 turbo is 450bhp and weighs the same as the Bugattis ash tray!

Anyone seen a Veyron on the road? Saw one the other weekend going the opposite way along the A49, near Oulton Park, when I was out in the GTA. It was just tootling along in the traffic flow between a couple of other cars, but looked very impressive. I hadn't been that impressed by it's shape or styling from what I'd seen in pictures, but does look much more impressive and imposing in the 'flesh'!
GTA V6 Turbo - BTW check your earths!
