Guess what 3 cars I got to "push" last night?!
Coming home on the DVP I came up on the following cars one by one a couple km from each other. Decided to inch each one up and get them to line up together and then "pushed"* them to see what they could do. Of course I beat them all but don't think any of them wanted to race my 1000 Supersport on the highway so they pretty much gave up after a few seconds.
So what did I line up against on the highway, and all at the same time;
2005+ Dodge Viper (red)
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (orange)
Lamborghini Murcielago (white)
What are the chances of getting all three cars at one time + getting all three to step on the gas.
Story:
I'm coming back from the club scene riding on the GSXR 1k, been hanging out downtown checking out the "scenerary". I come off the gardiner and hit DVP north when I come up slowly on the Gallardo spyder. I get up next and give it a little push, he tries for about a second or two and decides that he doesn't want to take on a bike. So I push forward and keep going. A few kms up I come up on the red Viper. He's eager and I pass him, he passes me and we play a little cat and mouse. As we reach Lawrence (and make sure the fuzz aren't radaring) we both come up on the Murcielago. I pull behind (most supercars don't want to go against bikes) the Viper pulls up beside the Lambo and they both slow to put some distance between the front cars. Next thing I hear the Viper kicks it down and shoots 5' flames out it's dual side pipes and they both go, I hammer it and push both bumpers from behind. Next thing I know the Gallardo (who turns out was just playing behind us all) takes the third lane and they all decide to slow, all push for a couple seconds and the Viper is the leader, me following behind, short shifting at 10k so I don't run into anyones bumper. All three decide to get onto the 401 now and I follow suit. Onto the express and they all start going, of course not to be done I notch it down to 2nd and hammer to 12.5k shifts, I leave all three standing (of course they may have got off the gas as soon as I started walking away.) When I got out of it the Viper did sling shot by though, give him that.
It was schweet! Too bad I didn't have my helmet cam mounted.
* P.S. For any police reading this, we all stayed at the speed limit and no one ever got past 90km/hr on the DVP and 100km/hr on the 401, plus this was all in my dream as I would never drive like this in real life.

I'm pretty sure your "race" was mentioned on 640 AM I was listening the other day and the host of one of the shows was talking about how he saw a bike and Lambo go at it on the DVP for a bit so I'm assuming that is you.

So, out of all the cars, which would you take
GSXR 1k is no slouch though, most guys need serious jam to run a bike :thumbsup:

LOL @ bikers thinking they are the fastest thing on the road.
I just laugh at them when they try to get me to race, and tell them "when you can afford to drive four wheels, then come talk to me."

Fortunately for me I own both 2 and 4 wheels. But I do agree with you somewhat. Most supersport bikes are quick but will have a tough time hanging with supercars at high speed (ie. 250km+). In the above run none of the cars wanted to get to speeds that would drag down the GSXR.

I agree, anyone can buy a bike and be fast right out the box. Takes way more time/work and money to build a car that can keep up with a bike. thats respect.
