Do you mean against that Vauxhall? How do you figure the Vauxhall wins
in a highway chase? If I understand correctly, you said your bike got
slaughtered in a 1.5 mile dragrace with a top speed pretty close to
what the Vauxhall is capable of in dragstrip trim.  It would seem the
Vauxhall's acceleration advantage is only up to a certain point.

That Veyron wouldn't have to hit anywhere near its top speed to beat
that Vauxhall. At 180 the Vauxhall is sucking wind, the Veyron is
accelerating hard.  While the Vauxhall can go around 190, how long can
it maintain it? And how stable is it going to be at that speed
compared to the Veyron?
