And in defense of any motorcyclist who gets plowed freeway racing a car, I can't say I'm too amazed... That evo vs gsx-r, sure that's great that they can pass them as freeway speeds, but it's not too remarkable really.. Bikes have an aerodynamic barrier that they hit where they need a lot more power to surpass than a car. I just want to see races from a stop when it's bikes vs cars, otherwise a powerful car with tall enough gears just needs enough time to waste a bike... and it will, usually around the 100 mph mark it'll creep up or fly by.

Oh yeah, and evo from hell is j-hole from hell... how totally sweet, you're burning out in school zones and driving in the middle of two lanes, woot.

Controlling a car takes talent; stomping a gas pedal to the ground and spinng your tires just takes basic motor skills and a car powerful enough to do it.
I'd like to see a dig race too between that EVO and a GSX-R.
However I am not so optimistic on the bike taking out that EVO from a dig.
I would like to see it though!
