It was an acceleration test from a dead stop to one mile and I think the MV showed just what kind of league bikes are actually in

 

That's pretty damn impressive, really. Good post

 

that Lamborgini Murcielago is a pig....

 

Good Post!!

Good to see bikes so far up the list....thats great!

If only all those kids who want busas for first bikes could see the league there in...

 

I'm guessing the slicks on the race cars hook up better than the tires on the street cars, even if they aren't drag slicks. Does it say if the race cars were geared specially for max. acceleration?

 

It's not really about the cars hooking up but they do list all the tires used on the cars. The S7 and Viper were both using Michelin Pilot Sport 2's.

I havn't read the whole article yet so I'm not sure if they messed around with the gearing at all.

 

i have the actual magazine, i believe that most of the vehicles were highly modified factory versions but i still need to read the whole article

Why do you say that? Wouldn't the launch would directly affect the times? Maybe less so for the longer distances? I asked about the gearing because Car and Driver once tested two ALMS cars that were in the same class but were set up with optimal gearing for two different tracks, and their acceleration times and top speed varied a whole lot. That's just one variable though...
