Yeah, I've seen that vid numerous times. Although I'm impressed by the car, it still wouldn't beat the bike 0-140 or in a quarter mile. It take mad coin to make a car that fast, whereas the bike only costs about $4,000. And everyone knows that at top end speed the superior horsepower and areodynamics in a car will take over at very high speeds. Also, it didn't help that the dude was riding a wheelie from the start either.
Oh, and for the record. I ate a Modena's lunch last Spring.

yeah. I agree with you on that. Honda does suck. I'm still pretty impressed with the rider, doing a wheelie at that speed... On top end, the drag really would get the car. Fast Camaro tho...

Hondas are cool. Styling sucks as of late though. Except for the new Civic. The Ridgeline is oogly, and so are the new Accords.
Yeah, the rider was impressive albeit crazy! ZERO margin of error at those speeds! 
That Camaro was blazingly fast. Drag would effect the car on the top end yes, but the horsepower would compensate for it. Also, the drag coefficiency of a car is still better than a motorcycle with a rider. On the top end, powerful cars rule bikes any day. My bike can run 10's in the 1/4 easily @ around 134-138 mph. Not too many cars on the planet can touch that even if they cost upwards of a million bucks. However, even though my bike is capable of topping out at around 175 mph I would be toast after the 1/4 and get completely dusted after a mile.

So.. How long does it TAKE you to get to that (theorhetical?) top speed, after the 135-ish in ten seconds? how much longer?
