Those are with very experienced drivers, trackpedia isn't always the most accurate.

 

I agree it sounds awful fast for streets but I'm not doubting it completely. I was shotgun in a 06 Murci on streets last year that could have left me if the driver knew what he was doing and a Porsche GT could certainly hang with a Murci. For the record I run low 20s on slicks.

 

You should save up every dime, sell your mom, girlfriend and sister and go to that motorcycle track in N. Florida. If I was a young buck that's what I'd do. Bikes are a lot more affordable than cars and all the riders I know that eventually made the transistion to four wheels when age caught up with them turned out to be the best drivers on the track.

Hell, it still crosses my mind once in a while to get a bike but they don't make leathers in extra fat.

 

Thats very true!! I just got back from Rally School and the instructor was telling us that 99% of his students that had bikes are better drivers then people who are used to cars. He said that its because they can feel the vehicle better when cornering and breaking.


To the guy with the Supra, I am in the same boat as you. 90% of my comments come from guys Everytime I park or go through a drive through its just guys that compliment me. And at stop lights its always a guy breaking his neck to see the car

 

hrmmm interesting... i might have to sell my mom and sister... i start the bidding on ebay... lol.. thanks for the info im going to get track plastics and leathers one of these days for my bike.

 

Maybe. I think it might be because bikers develop better peripheral vision and are used to looking ahead. Whatever it is they seem to have the edge with a wheel in their hands.

Then again, it might be because bikers in general are pretty fucking nuts.

 

I do have to say after riding a bike for awhile I've noticed my driving in the truck better. I think it maybe because we do look ahead and try to problem solve something before it comes up.

 

ill get there someday..

a huge +1 on the old people with lambo's having much more to lose then most.
