    tin boxes make a fair difference when you go from 186mph to 0mph in 0seconds

    true but it's a commonly known fact that if someone hits you on a motorbike you're gonna get hurt worse than if you are in a car, and no matter how safe a driver you are there are still other eedjits on the roads

    As everyone has said, u got more chance surviving when your in a car than on a bike.

    At least when its pissing down your not wet, when you got the sH&%s its a lot better in the car
    If you got a long journey to do, id rather in a car, what about music? ok theres things made for bikes, but car wins !!!

    also no A/C and you have to wear all that leather which when going into the office doesnt quite do it

    I do have to admit, I love bikes, always wanted one (something like a GSX-R 1000 or a YZF-R1 would do me nicely!!), but I still love cars, esp if they've been done up stupidly like that Scooby in the link I posted!

    I dunno mate, it is pretty much impossible to wheelspin a 4wd unless you are up in the 350bhp+ range, it would fly off the line. Pretty pointless having 2x turbo's AND a supercharger imo

    If you scroll down the page, at the bottom of the post it says that his goal is to get it up to 800+ BHP, so he might not have the full 800 there, but I think he WILL have a fair bit more than 350!!
