    huh?

    The only cars I've seen able to beat bikes times on tracks are Indy and F1 cars.

    The Veyron maybe a special car, but it aint that special.

    who goes from a 30 mph punch on the autobahn? argue ably the best road to street race on in the world. there is no need to slow down, most people in the nicer cars and bikes cruise at about 150 km.

    that said, if your going to pick a race on the autobahn, its going to start near 150 km. though I may be partial to bikes, this race is going to be won on four wheels.

    Not quite. It may be a liter bike but it won't be seeing that high. The new zx14r supposedly can get close when its unrestricted, as well as certain years of Hayabusas.

    Actually, contrary to popular belief, a lot of the autobahn sections have speed limits.

    true, but when your out for a drive in your bugati playing with a friends CGT. your probably out of the city a ways, where the speed limits are not restricted.
