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

Or hill climb. That Triumph in my sig is stretched three inches. My grand dad did some hill climbs back in the day.

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.....
