Fast Car?
« on: September 21, 2010, 09:14:40 PM »

Just wondering if anyone else has been out on their bike and come across a car that made them think 'damn thats a quick car'. Was chugging along on a dual carriage way and a scooby came up behind me then tore past me, i caught up with him but made me think 'damn pretty quick for a car'  :hello2:

Came across a BMW M5 estate car on the M3 [well he caught up with me] coming home from work a couple of years back,It leveled alongside me,window down and 2 Bros were driving it......they geed me up and then game on!
That fooking thing flew!!!....this is straight up,i was indicating 180 odd and the fooking thing was pulling lengths on me,my 10R had no answer to it, good job my junction was coming up so i could save some face....what was left of it!!  :lol:

Had a blat with a F360 before and i pulled away from about 60mph - straight dual carriageway though, corners would have been a different kettle of fish.

My mate just caned a zx6r the other day in his 996 turbo pushing 500bhp.

theres loads of cars that will make a bikes look like c90's but a lot of it is down to the rider/driver.but at the end of day pound for pound theres no comparison.(bike obviously)

although i would love to have a play in a skyline.......

Bmw 650 tore past me on the m1 cought up with him and we both took the next junction rolled up beside him and gave him the thumbs up as we rolled to the lights as soon as they changed it was game on

The car did well until i got the front wheel to stay down and really opened it up but it did leave me supprised it kept up as long as it did

In 1990 I had a brand new Yamaha FZR600B, I was running it in by riding up the A6 to Kirby Lonsdale on a sunny sunday.  I got overtaken by a soft top Porsche 911 at a set of lights, he proceeded to take cars three at a time for the next 20 miles.  He was followed by about 30 bikes trying to keep up with him, every time we overtook a bike it tagged on, it was like the pied piper.  We finally got to the M6 junction and he wound it up to naughty speeds, with the smoke of a bunch of 500 Suzuki Gammas chasing him, leaving me at an indicated 100-ish trying to pretend I was still running the bike in, I got overtaken by a private hire car :emb:

The guy in the Porsche looked happy, and he knew how make progress relatively safely, it was one of those glorious days that cements a love of bikes.  A good race, a cuppa at Devils Bridge and a pleasant ride home chasing a Kawasaki KR1S down back roads, bliss.

Not found anything quick enough to hand with the ten ....but I had a go against a tricked up Ferrari F430 when two up on my GSXR600 :D .....it blew me out in bubbles, even though I hit the red line in every gear and sailed well into 3 figures .....plus the wife on the back was not quite so adrenalined up about the incident as I was when I eventually gave up trying :lol:

Ribs still hurt ........  [rofl]

I had a play against a modified evo 10 not so long back and he was nowhere near me! I even slowed down to let him catch up and off I went again. Gave him a head start on one of them too and still spanked him!

There are some bloody quick cars out there tho. I still smile when I know I can keep up for alot less money
