Just too get back on track......It's no surprise its the non Evo variant of the Lancer that seems to be caught up in this Subaru baiting affair. Proper Lancer Evo drivers wouldn't waste their fuel on such a council estate touring car.

i certainly do and years and years later still love the way they drive, i dont however feel the need to claim every mitsubishi (non evo ) wants to race me and everything from a saxo to a ferrari sits on my bumper as this has never happened to me and id estimate ive done 40k plus in an impreza throughout the years.

The GT2 has a power to weight ratio of 460 bhp/tonne... it weighs about the same a Scoob so I can't see too many Subarus have any significant power to weight advantage and at a decent speed a GT2 is way more slippery than a Subaru which has a far greater effect than power at high speeds.
At the end of the day no car will live with a well ridden modern sports bike, sorry but if you don't accept that you have no idea what bikes are capable of or are just too blinkered to understand facts!

I can see how it looked but you're quite right, cars can not "live" with bikes.
There are however exceptions, and in the case of the two subarus that have been mentioned above they may just stay with a bike, beating a bike on the other hand is something different.
I should also point out, it you have ever tried to get the full potential out of a superbike, and I have it's not easy, not one bit.
Exceptions to the rules, thats all.

This crap always makes me laugh as most bikes are rode by midlife crisis men who if pushed on a bumpy road would bottle in seconds and as for the 1/4 mile stuff I have been to a few straighliner events with bikes and its suprisingly how slow the big bikes are with your usual riders behind the bars
It has been done to death that bikes are faster that cars but when powerful cars do out run bikes all the idiots come out spouting it can't be so .
Cars do beat bikes and bikes do beat cars it's why people buy them. Just don't spout the manufacturers power figures for each thinking that is the end of it.
No one mentioned a standing start but you seemed to drag another thing into it as do most haters, I know mine will do 0-60 in under 3 seconds if if I can get the traction and I know it will do 0-100 in the 5 second mark but not with my gear changes.
Just accept that some bikes can be caught off guard and left by some cars

I do like bikes but don't ride myself . But have been on the back of a quick one . That was it for me . Bikes are not for me but then that's why we are all diff.
But I do like seeing a bike going for it and always give them room on the road as I no they are quicker then me .

Xline, not allowing for torque as that makes a huge difference on acceleration in cars but I think mine is something like 520bhp per tonne. Not the quickest I know but how many bikes are over that as it can't be many?
Pure science and weight will dictate how quick each can be, obviously a bike will leave a normal Impreza but it went from that to just bikes always win and there isn't that many huge powered bikes out there as compared to just fast bikes

2.3 bar nice . I bet it pins you to your seat all the way up the gears .

It can put a smile on your face but it's easy to accelerate the problem comes when you need to brake. If I was on the road and decided to overtake 5 cars on a country/ single lane road I would have to start braking after I had passed the second car so I could pull in safely

The car is off the road as the last three events I have been to it has broken something, big power breaks things a lot. The last time I had the car on an airfield it did 169mph gps and that was with 555bhp. I would expect the car to do that in a standing km now and probs top out at 186mph due to the gearing but what damage it would do to the car if you pushed the top speed for a tiny bit would be quite damaging IMHO.

555bhp is a lot of power . I take my hat of to u . My cosworth was running 480bhp. But that was a long time ago .
Am going to get my Subaru up to 300bhp then that will do .
You said you was in the 22b team . Now that must of been fun times .

I don't have many vids but this one always makes me laugh. I was at crail and I was on my normal road tyres and I could not get any traction so I had to pull off slowly then put my foot down.
The car videoing was a glanza and the lad said it was 250bhp so when I was talking to him in the queue he knew he wasn't going to do well but he insisted he had never been beaten on the day.
It was that bad for grip even the Wallace evo wad averaging 11.5sec 1/4 mile times and that has over 800bhp.

I haven't looked up the torque figures lately, but I can say that the straight fours vs the V-Twins is like comparing a turbo charged petrol against a supercharged diesel.
Have a look at a few seconds of this
Ducati Panigale 1199 S vs Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade (SC59) - YouTube
This is on bike footage of a Fireblade, and as you can see you have to wring its neck to get it to move. You'll notice that the other bike is the Ducati.
Here is some on bike footage on the Ducati and just listen to the difference of the engine and the way it rides.

These are both batsh1t fast but in completely different ways.
