Let me step up to the plate as self-proclaimed authority on the SVT vs. Maxima vs. sport bike controversy. (In the garage is a 00 SVT, 00 Maxima SE, and a 01 Hayabusa....
The SVT will beat my wife's SE (girlamatic slushbox), but the SE is a fantastic all-around car. Really love it. Roomy, attention to small details. Only item I am unhappy with is it has a poor turning radius (try doing a u-turn in the street... won't happen).
As far as even thinking about a current (within the past 10 years) sport-bike, you are friggin crazy. No way. Hayabusa does 0-60 in 2.2 seconds. 0-100 in six seconds. Tops out (limited) at 185mph. Can a SVT take a Harley or cruiser bike? Good chance of that at their quarter mile times are in the 14s, but even the 600 sportbikes have quarters in the low to mid 11s with the Hayabusa and ZX-12 touching the 9's with a pro rider. Not saying your race didn't happen, but riding a bike will give your seat time in a car a whole new perspective...
