That's impressive. Wonder how he would do against a Hayabusa

185mph is what he said at the end. Pretty dang impressive it got up to that in such a short amount of time.

Impressive car, but no surprises really. A powerful car always winsat the top end against a bike. If the race is long enough the car will win. Personally I'm more interested in acceleration up to 140mph. The Vette couldn't reel in that R1 until the speed got pretty high.
