RE: LT1 vs. Honda
The Civic weighs 2080 with a 180 pound driver. The Civic has 409 whp.
The bike weighs about 875 with a similar 180 pound driver. The bike has 145 whp.
Power to weight of the Civic is 5.0 lbs per hp.
Power to weight of the bike is 6.0 lbs per horsepower.
I am friends with both the bike driver and the Civic driver, both were dynoed.
It was on the highway from a 50 roll, the Civic pulled about 5 CAR lengths up to 145.

I honestly hope you're talking about a fat harley or something...do you want to talk about aerodynamics??? Dynos mean nothing in a case like that and if ANY civic can get 5 car lengths on a bike then the bike or it's driver sucks.

Look, I'm an american car guy too. I have vast knowledge of everything on wheels. The bike was a Suzuki, Very Fast.
The Aerodynamics on the Civic are actually good.
Why can't the reason the Civic won just be that it was faster and has a better Power to Weight?
If that was a Mustang would it have won?
Weight doesn't mean as much in the top end, its te power and the Civic triples the bikes power.

RE: LT1 vs. Honda
I'm not one of those guys that only likes Mustang. My family has a Honda and I appreciate any fast car. Although the Civics aerodynamics are good, the bikes are 10x better. The Honda would have to be running somethinkg like <2.9sec 0-60 times to compete against a bike and continue that kind of acceleration up to about the 165 mark. 5 car lengths??? Show me a vid or give me some kind of proof.
Because of the aerodynamics I don't think it could beat a Suzuki w/ only 12% more hp. Horsepower isn't everything. Anyways, this argument is useless until proof is shown...neither one of us is going to have our opinions swayed by some stranger on the internet.
