Power to weight of a Ferrari
- Thread starter ItIsWhatItIs
- Start date
lol thats cute. Get Carlos Checa on the world superbike spec Ducati 1098R and his bike will get smacked by more than 2 seconds on the track by AF Corse's Ferrari 458 Italia GT. Race car don't play no games.

nah, original thread was about ninja 300 out-performing a 30 year old ferrari... and it may, in a straight line 1/16th mile, and maybe even the 1/8 mile... but once we get to 1/4 mile hte ferrari will be moving much faster, and i doubt the 300 will have put enough of a gap to stay ahead at that point. by the 1/2 mile, the bike will be getting conitnually smaller in the rearview mirror.

I don't understand these car vs bike threads when most people here clearly have both.
You have a Ferrari and a bike?
C'mon, this topic is essential. I've learned that the next time I need a vehicle, I shouldn't assume that a bike will be faster than a car, or vice-versa. I need to first properly assess my 0-100 times and top speed needs for my commute, as well as deciding on the appropriate kg/hp figure that fits my ego. Then I can confidently walk into any car or bike dealer and tell them my power to weight target, and I'm set. This was the idea behind the Powerhouse concept where they sold cars and bikes side-by-side. Can't figure out why that failed.
Plus now I know that if any bike salesman tries to tell me that bikes are more aerodynamic than cars, I can absolutely, definitely, confidently call him a liar, since everyone in this thread has said cars are more aerodynamic. The fact that any bike can acheive much higher speeds with much less power than any car, is probably due to 'magic' motorcycle hp, I guess.
Thanks GTAM!
No, I don't. Cars are less aerodynamic than bikes, any claim to the contrary is horsepucky.

Also, the Ducati 1198s owning the farrari in the quarter mile with a faster lap time was a hollywood set. Via GTAM impossible as bikes have the aerodynamics of a box on wheels..

How can you say that? The bike owned the car and the jet. The bike lacked top end speed.

I did too and why did I find this so funny?
"...The car was originally to be named the "Fangio F1" after him but, following his death in 1995, it was renamed for an air current above Argentina."

You actually read about it?!
I just looked at images.
Personally I have next to no interest in cars (I do love me some Smokey and the Bandit Trans Ams though... so beautiful), all of my interest is in bikes. There's a reason my license says G1M2... (Will be getting my G2 soon since I guess a car would be useful for winter, and carrying more than 1 passenger)
Aerodynamics don't have a significant impact at lower speeds.
The bike blasts off the line as is expected and uses its power to weight ratio to trounce everything until it was no longer suitable to overcome the wind resistance.
The car's better aero takes over at that point and allows it to punch by.
The bike's lack of "top end speed" is derived directly from the aero resistance it encounters from its less efficient design.

:lmao: I just spat coffee on my iPad after reading that. Made my day.
