The bikes benefit from craxy power to weight ratio, you will have to do the same. Many variables play into it, but information to asses the task is key..

-this a quater mile run?
-this a rolling start situation?

Even a 600 is going to pull anywhere from a low 12 to low 11 1/4 time so you'd have to get your car there power wise...

I'm putting down 600+ I have no problem with bikes..

Depends on what you are talking about, bikes are much faster in a drag, but cars corner much better. I think Top Gear races an Ariel Atom vs a 600RR and the bike just couldn't corner as fast.

Lol, that's comparing an Atom to a bike. He's talking about his Honda, not a super/hyper car.

modern 600's are mid/high 10 second bikes and most 1000's are high 9/low 10s.

so if you want a real race, not fooling around on the highway, id think you need atleast 500whp and slicks to have a chance.

NOS should do the trick.

Or you could buy my bike and save your car for rainy days.
