Bike loses.... So does Veyron by quite some way too...

I would doubt that... (not that I like the car, but...) if Audi's claims are true the Veyron would do 0 - 150 in about the same time, just under 10 seconds. It does do 0 - 186 in "less than 14 seconds" so it wouldn't be far behind - if at all. Are the Scooby's times independantly verified or just a figment of the owner's imagination? I looked at their website and that car only has 556 bhp and 400 lb/ft... it'll be heavier than 1000 kgs. It's 4 x 4 will give it good traction but I still can't see how it would be that quick... the figures don't really stack up!
[/quote]there are many 500bhp + classics around, and 500bhp in a classic generats quite some shove... Vbox data for a 522bhp classic scoob thats fully loaded i.e. as standard, ran 0-100 6.47 I think Andy f's car has well over 600 and thats a big difference, and has light weight everything...
figures are from timing gear... at the strip...
For reference Car and Driver 10.8 for a Veyron in the 1/4 mile... Jan 06
Zero to 62 mph: 2.5 sec
Zero to 124 mph: 7.3 sec
Zero to 186 mph: 16.7 sec
Standing 1/4-mile: 10.8 sec @ 140 mph
Top speed (observed at governor): 253 mph
