That was the last thing the Turbo owner saw. :xmaslol:

Sooooo..... Not relevant?

Yeah, I mean we're talking about cars. I just don't get what the point of bringing up the bikes is? (Almost) everyone knows how fast bikes are.

(Almost) made me :icon17: well there is one more Porsche owner on the planet, anyway.

You know how I like to put things into perspective, Red. Besides, Steve was the first person on the Forum who friended me, so I blame everything on him.

Yeah, and yet you are not driving a Porsche. I agree it's stupid to bring bikes up in this thread, they are not relevant and IMO are a stupid waste of money... oh wow a 500 lb bike can beat a car and people are supposed to be impressed? All the Porsche has to do is move over and give you a little nudge and your *** will be splattered all over the road.... gay.

Yea and if you are racing someone and they barely clip your rear end at 100mph you're going off the road into a ditch or into oncoming traffic = dead. So whats your point? don't race people who are willing to commit vehicular homicide?

Everyone talks about how the Z is a good value because its cheap and fast. guess what? bikes are way cheaper and way faster. so if you want to go fast and dont want to buy a 600hp car (yes thats about as much as you need to be outrunning a fast sportbike) then if you're crazy enough and have enough balls you'll ride a motorcylce. I agree that its totally irrelevant to bring up bikes in a thread about cars, but saying they are a waste of money because they are dangerous is kind of silly.

fastest moto gp bike is still not faster than a car duh.

deaths related to car accidents went down quite a bit since they started tracking it years ago. yet motorcycle deaths are still as high as it was in the 80s.

sooooo you're saying bikes are just as safe as cars?

no. Methodical said that if a bike is racing porsche, the porsche can just ram him off the road and kill him. my point was that if you are racing a porsche in a car, and you are going fast enough, any contact between the cars will probably result in serious injury or death. So talking about racing and whats 'safer' to do something VERY dangerous in is pretty illogical. its like asking 'is it safer to drink drano or eat rat poison?'

I actually never said that the Z was a good value because it was cheap and fast at all. I don't consider a car 30k or above to be really that cheap. Is it as expensive as most Audi's who can't outperform it? Yeah it is... but it's all about what you like. The Z is a very comfortable, fun, quick, car that has a great history going back many many years.

Bikes? Who gives a s*it about a bike? This isn't the thread for them as you mentioned. If I lived in California or someplace warmer, I might own one for some fun rides once in a while... but what does it do? The Z is small but at least I can carry another person and some things in the back... plus I have heat and no bugs hitting me in the face :)
