LOL, no, it's not my daily driver so never know when I'm going to have it out; I drive it a decent amount though so you might catch me between 275/Bears and 275/Westshore from time to time.

And when you pull along side that 60+ yr old man on the interstate and try to goad him into a street race he is thinking "pussy couldn't break four minutes at Sebring."

I know, because I know several of 60+ yr old men tracking their cars. One happens to have a yellow Gallardo. I know another one with a Porsche GT. And of course Ferraris, Vipers and Vettes. I'm not knocking your street activities but I'm betting all those 60+ guys with broken ankles have a lot more to lose in a street race than you. I'm also betting they would be more than happy to take you for a few laps around a real track.

ill take them to the track anyday thatd be fun! but they dont let bikes/cars race on the same track and im not asking for a 140+ run around the interstate.... but a good 100mph pace would be nice.. but i get what ur saying which is probably true

I met Johnny (Z06) and his Dad (Porsche GT) and Mom (Ferrari Challenge Stradale). That GT (you know, that old 60+ year old who doesn't want to break his ankle ) put down a 2:15 lap time...in traffic . The Z06 without being pushed was at 2:30. Didn't get to time the Ferrari but she was quick, leaving me in the dust between turns 17 & 1. I doubt any of them want nor care to play on the street. Penguin and a couple of other groups take their motorcycles to events on the tracks in South Florida. Unless of course you only care about the straight line stuff .

whats the point in having a bike if ur only going in straight lines?!?! no i like curves but i dont have the right equipment for the track... such as leathers, and im not saying that all old people are going to break their ankles when they push it to the ground but more than half of them are.

I know a few 60 year olds that put down 2:10 in 2 litre cars -

GT = Carrera GT? 2:15 sounds way too fast for that car unless it had slicks on it. A 360cs should do in the 2:30's, 360 challenge car though does low 2:20's.
