'renegade master' i think your pairing of a mc222(cbr250) and a toyota levin is a bit of a missmatch mate,the levin wouldnt stand a chance.
For instance my rgv150 easily disspatches my best mates 92' 20valve,silver top levin (150hp,1050kg),unless wea talking rolling starts from 120kmh-130kmh that is then its pretty even,with the levin pulling away around 150kmh.

Im guessing since you said 160hp levin that your meaning 20valve black top-(ae111) , even though thea a bit quicker than the silver tops your cbr wouldnt have much trouble beating one.

mc22 cbr250, 0-100kmh 5-6secs,1/4 mile-14sec

toyota levin ae111, 0-100kmh-8.5sec,1/4 mile 16sec

Lets see............my sons remote controlled Ferrari he picked up at the Warehouse is an exotic that will probably outperform my Hyosung. But not for long......I'm upgrading (-:

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

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

The best figure I've seen for a stock ZX11 is 10.4 for the ss 1/4 mile. That was independently tested using professional drag racers. The only sub 10s ZX 11s (1052cc) I know of are heavily modded. Just for starters you are looking at things like changing the gearing, blueprinting the motor, modding the fuelling/airbox and serious dyno time. Plus shedding all the unnecessary weight. And running slicks on modified rims.

The ZX needs more power and less weight to crack 10 secs. Then again so do most other bikes.

Theres only a few cars that comes close to the performance of a bike

Some of them are:

Ferrari Enzo

Koenigsegg

Bugatti Veyron

And two of them are too ugly to be seen in

I'd like to see what my aprilia does the quarter mile on, its pretty fast thru the gears if you can keep the front wheel down...:

Could be a go, if not, Ford GT 40

**Grub** · 28th November 2007, 05:58

Mine would be Subaru WRX STi 2 door coupe - blue with gold wheels of course!

Alot of people are underestimating their bikes here.
E.g, 'Grub',i see u have two cbr600's,and your saying a subaru wrx would match your bike,what planet are you on mate.

90'CBR600
1/4 mile-12.06sec@114mph
top speed-141mph(227kmh)

00'CBR600
1/4 mile-11sec@120mph+
Top speed-easy 150mph+(low 240's kmh)

Subaru WRX STI
1/4 mile-13-14sec@?????
top speed-140-155mph(225-250kmh)

There arent many cars which will saty with even a half decent bike, ive seen a mclaren F1 do a 1/4 mile on youtube(11.0sec@????)-Basically,slower than a 1990 GSXR750L(10.87sec@127mph).
Even the likes of ford GT's,Ferrari Enzo's,Porsche 911's,Lambo's cant keep up with a decent bike,they all struggle to break 11.0sec on a good day(heck,most 1/4 miles ive seen for those sorta cars are usually in the low 12sec bracket),even the mighty buggati veyron falls short(10.4sec 1/4 mile), so does the aeriel atom(12sec non-SC,and 10.6sec for the 300hp supercharged version).
If where talking straight line,4 wheels still doesnt come close.

I had a play with a late 90's merc e55 on the kaiaua straights and the gsxr out accellerated him big time to about 200 but then he started to pull away and was still pulling away when I was doing 260.
