Very cool video! I wasn't surprised with the ZX-10R vs RX-7 outcome, but I was surprised how fast that little RC Car was!!

Seems the RC car would actually out drag the RX-7 in a race. haha.

I usually get bored with You Tube videos after a short while, but this one was worth the watch. I especially liked the little baby remote car at the very end of the vid. :mrgreen:

So tell me, what is the purpose of stretching a bike?

Honestly the only reason I would ever stretch a bike is to
1. drag race, as it keeps your center of gravity lower and doesn't allow the bike to wheelie as easily or
2. DRIFT! haha

I got a little RC car that would eat the one in the video for lunch.

I'm wondering how a non-stretched ZX-10 would have done in that contest. He never really had the backend all that far out.....
