In and issue of a UK bike mag this Porsche beat the writer on the bike but just barely and plus the writer couldn't handle it all too well around the track anyhow. Another mag (maybe the same one) pitted an F1 vs bike vs stunt plane.
would a f1 be street legal if they put the proper equip on? Like signals.. mirrors and stuff?

Yes. Anything can be street legal if it can pass the relevant safety and emissions standards. At least in the US.

i doubt an F1 car would pass emissions. THOUGH that'd be "procreating" awsome if it did.

Anything will pass emissions if you tune it right and throw enough catalytic converters on it.
Nothing says it has to STAY legal once you pull out of the inspector's driveway.

not everyone has that big 6 months of experience you do. Give them time to learn the rules and maybe they'll stop posting popular threads like this one in places where people can see them.
btw, cool video!

But they wouldn't know any better if everyone just stayed silent and laid on their backs.

No law against it - some people are more concerned with relevancy than others. I didn't see anything wrong with your post as it was about a bike and sparked up some discussion. However there have been other folks who have come on the site and will just hijack any thread with random stuff, pertinent or not. And I think that's what people are worried about.

If memory serves that was fifth gear, whereas Top Gear discovered that Ferraris F1 car gets spanked by the Eurofighter...

who the hell cares about the 0-60 on the F1 car its obviously not that great if its even with a 10 thousand dollar bike, after i say 60 or so the f1 car just starts raping, i would like to see a bugatti veyron take an F1 car on a standing mile...THAT would be interesting...also, F1 cars arent set up for straights although they do run high 8s

....i would pay money to see ghostrider race an F1 car or a bugatti veyron up to 170mph on a turbo busa...now THATS a race!
