Funny, I can't see San Dimas and not think "Bill and Ted"

If it's the same video that I think, the C4 is slower on the straights but faster on the turns, at the end the C4 wins.

"Obviously I could drive the car...but as it needs to go quickly I've decided to hand the keys over to my old mate- Jason Plato"

That made me laugh.

Jeremy isnt the best driver, but he is hilarious and he totally makes the difference between shows like Fifth Gear and Top Gear.

He is also notoriously anti bike. In this case just having the car and bike on track together is a hazard and accounts for some of the slow lap times.

Very interesting but to be expected. I've often heard other riders claim that bikes are "more manuverable than cars". Not always so. My 944 n/a can outhandle my '99 Katana 750 on the curves any day (I've got a few good ones near here that I've been able to wind out on and see for myself). No contest. Bikes DO handle well, but not as well as a car built for handling.

And the Carrera 4S is a schweet ride. I hope to have one. . . someday. . .

Do you think he might be a little bit biased?

"Obviously I'm not going to ride the bike because I'm heterosexual"

He always makes jokes like that, especially anything to do with trouser height and type.

Hello... I am a Newbie here and look forward reading all of these posts!
I have to chime in on this though... In most cases cars will have the better lap times, but, you don't quite have the same "PUCKER" factor.
