Not a bad machine...yes a concept/custom car and hardly productive and probably cost 100 trillion dollars to make and a Gixxer or ZX10 is only 20k blah blah blah, but it is still pretty damn cool.

Hell yeah... It would eat my GSXR600 alive...but I bet it couldn't pull off on one wheel!

Looks like any other boyracer shit box to me. Just a bigger engine.

Bollocks - a modern 600 with a decent rider should be able to see that off from the lights.

What cracks me up about this, is if they built it, they'd sell by the bucket load. Unfortunately though, Chrysler are the only cage manufacturer with the balls to do it and they're fucked again.

Actually, probably a bit more like 4 or 5 seconds, mebbe even as many as 7 or 8. It does 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds, which is the same time a lardy 1990 VFR750 does, so a modern 600 (being the same power and a bit lighter) should be able to waste the Golf to about 160 or so. Once it's got all that extra weight on the move though, the top end of the Golf would soon leave a gulf. And on a circuit, winding road, or gravel, pffft....

Late model 600s are no faster than that to 100kph mate, nor are Superbikes. You run into a little thing called physics where most normal bikes will try turn themselves inside out on one wheel.

A veyron is the only thing I can think of that will make a bike look slow. Modern 600's should be around three and a half seconds 0-100 - if you can get it right.

Don't just go off stats. Sure it could get to 100 in just under 3.5 if you got it right, but also, read WT's post above.

Not all cars are slow and stupid mate

I didn't say they were did I?? its not just stats or manufacturers specs people with data loggers have recorded similar times 0-100. Your arguing with yourself.

Would be interesting to see the Renault Clio V6 vs this on the track.

LMAO - fight away kiddies:dodge:

I agee, would probably hold it off for about 5 or 6 seconds, then the sheer power of it will pull it past.

Waylander - How can that be a boyracer car? The little shits could not afford something like that!
