Which exotic car would be a match for your bike?

I was talking to a friend of mine who is in Wellington at the moment and he went for a ride in a Ferrari 512TR - I googled the specs...

The 512TR could accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.8 seconds and could reach the quarter mile mark in 12.8 seconds. Top speed was 192 mph (309 km/h). It cost US$212,160 in 1992 with luxury items, the "gas-guzzler" taxes, and destination freight.

Well, my bike would still outrun it! The ZX11 can easily do under 10 seconds in the 1/4 mile.

So it got me thinking, what exotic car would be a match for your bike?

Imagine the scenario... late at night, your waiting at traffic lights to let you onto an empty motorway... and a car pulls up next to you... what car would have you worried!

Regardless of cost - but we are talking "stock production" cars and your bike too!

Well I think a 1.3 L Toyota Corolla would probably beat the GN over a quarter mile

its quite hard to work out actually
A 1200 bandit does a quater mile in aprox 11.15 sec
But based on the fact that its a high torque lower horsepower and not a huge top speed id be maybe saying a ford rs 200
there about 2.8 sec 0 - 100km and a bandit is aprox 3.2 sec actually a bit less i believe so im going for that

I reckon mine is the Ferrari 208 GTS.
It does a 16 second quarter so its substantially slower however.

Theyre both Italian
They both have an approximate top speed of 200ks
They both look like they should be fast to people who know nothing about them
They both sound good (Id imagine anyway having never heard the Ferrari)
