Me vs the Ferrari... true story - I WHIPPED HIS ASS!

[jrandom]

There's me and him, side by side, straight road... 5:30 on NW just by Patiki...

was it a REALLY LOUD yellow 360M?

Most ferrari's except the Enzo aint that quick... 0-100 in 4.5-5 seconds on average is quite a bit slower than most bikes. Even a decent 250 2 stroke will kick one in a straight drag. Plus on top of that most Ferrari owners can't drive for shit and are scared to launch hard (10,000km clutch replacements etc)

quick for a cage, though.

and I do wonder if MDU could have spanked mister ferarri driver quite so soundly in any situation putting four fat P-Zeros up against two sport-tourer rubber bands around a corner or two.

regardless, I am very pleased about this boost to MDU's ego. it was starting to fade a bit.

Bout right. Fastest 0-100 for a Ferrari I have seen is the F40 with 3.4~ which could give a squid a run for a money if they couldn't launch properly. Funnily enough the OLD F40 dragged off all the other supercars on a recent test for 0-150 or so!

Hehe good shit

I don’t understand how people can like the styling of an RF. And to be fair I own one. But that is the great thing about bikes is different people like different bikes. Unless of course they are brain impaired & like tart's handbag affairs.

What I do like is the indecently quiet way you can launch from the lights at quite a respectable clip. Love that std silencer. Makes it look like you aren’t trying.

Is the NW in 'merka somewhere? The pic looks like it was taken on an American road - and looks like he's in the fast lane passing you.... i

Na - red one kinda like the one in the pic. I know the yellow one you mean though - I whipped him in similar circumstances about 2 months ago...

[ManDownUnder]

Yeah but your arse will never look big on an RF.

LOL - true.

Her "Does my arse look big on this?"
Him - Dunno - can't see from back here - maybe if you stand up on it

Yeah the RF has a wide(ish) back end.

On the other hand, me and my Fireblade couldn't catch up with a teenager on a souped-up Civic hatch.
When I mentioned this to my mechanic, he gave me advice that putting petrol to an empty tank could actually make a bike slightly faster.

it makes a wee bit of difference to hondas, but not much.....hang on i have a honda

the maclaren f1 lm supposedly does 0-100 in 3sec flat [versus the standard maclaren f1's 3.3] and 160kph in 6.2, thats fucken fast.....what about the caterham r500? thats the fastest cage [production cage] 0-160-0 in less than 10 seconds, good around town eh? the buggatti veyron will probably beat most normal 600's to 160, probably not the likes of a zx636 or cbr600rr though. and dont get me started with the b-engineering EDONIS...... rant over

[ducatilover]

lol, especially with me on it the bros eh?
