Default What have you lost to?

Sooo.... I raced a guy on a modded out motorcycle yesterday and beat him. He couldn't believe it. "Holy crap! That car is badass! It's faster than a bike!" I've beaten several motorcycles plus one seriously angry dude in a Mustang 500R with racing stripes. So I thought about it and.... I've never lost a race to anyone in anything. Have you guys raced anyone and lost badly? If so, what did you lose to?

Really fast bikes will beat a stock turbo S every time, they run 9.7 to 10.0, however most bike riders can not get that performance, need a good rider. Here are some fast cycle 1/4 times. A turbo s will beat 95% of the bikes out there, just not super bikes with super riders.
ZX-14 ... 9.71 sec/148 mph
Ducati 1098R.....9.75 sec/149 mph
BMW HP4.....9.76 sec/152 mph
Hyabusa....9.87 sec/147 mph
ZX-12R....9.90 sec/144 mph
Yamaha YZF-R1S....9.90 sec/145 mph
BMW S1000RR....9.93 sec/150 mph
BMW S1000R....9.94 sec/141 mph
Ducati 1198S....10.0 sec/145 mph
Honda CBR1000RR...10.0 sec/142 mph
B King....9.99 sec/138 mph

The guy I raced yesterday was super cool. We kept talking at each stoplight and each time he couldn't believe that my car was faster than his bike.

I've not been beaten by a bike yet but I know it will happen. Hey, my car is stock.

I've been beaten by a 991.2 Turbo with tune + exhaust + IPD + 19" lightweight wheels + R888R ... by 2 tenths and less mph than my best

I've been beaten by an old Charger with a mountain motor and roots charger, he couldn't stop and went off the end of the track, 9.2@164 letting off early

That's the list. List of beaten cars and bikes is loooooooongggggggg

As far as cars, I could see a 720S taking it, but other than that, not much.

I've noticed that sometimes people act like they want to race you not so much because they think they can win, but just because they want to see what your car can do.

Then there are Subaru WRX or whatever they are drivers who seem to have really unrealistic expectations of what their own cars can do.

Truest statement!! WRX owners are insane and will endanger themselves and others to prove a point......worse than BMW owners..........

I have an STI and an M5, and would like to think I don't endanger anyone...
