Very fine wheels, in both cases.

However, for sheer performance (and bang for the buck) you need to lose two of those wheels. My old Kawi ZX1100 (a '92 - it wasn't old back then) would smoke everything - Vipers, Vettes, a friend's very street illegal 500+ci NOS El Camino, and of course the occasional Crown Vic.

The new generation of 1100-1300cc sport bikes are insanely fast (180mph+) and will set you back about 10K out the door. Road and track did a test awhile back using a piddly ZX9 against the finest and fastest 4-wheel vehicles around. It involved going from 0-100mph and then back to zero again (all acceleration and braking). The ZX9 did this feat, 0-100-0 mph, before ANY of the cars had even reached 100.
