Convertible cars as fast as motorcycles?

[caesar]

I never had a bike, but I did have a Miata. It was much slower than my brother's bike, though. But the car could withstand crashes better than my brother's bike or my friend's bike.

So are there cars as fast as bikes? One that comes to mind is the Mercedes SL65 AMG, but it's like $200-$300K or so.

I own the SL55 AMG and at 508 HP it is darn fast

Although not a convertible and if I had the money I would be buying the new SLS AMG. Gull wings and all with MSRP starting at a paltry $180K

There are several crotch rockets that can do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. You won't find many cars that are capable of that however the Bugatti Veyron will get you from 9-62 in 2.5 secs...at a mere $2.6MM. But can you imagine the pair of loudspeakers you could get for that kind of bread??

Wanna race?

Yeah, I think the only one's that can do it are the Veyron, Spyker C8 GT2-R and Pagani Zonda.

Yeah, I think the only one's that can do it are the Veyron, and a Pagani Zonda.

And maybe this one. We have a long history of playing with Litre bikes here in Atlanta.

60 on up we can take on any bike

The most fun is on the twisties 4 large R compound tires and 4 large brakes are hard to handle for a bike

Not to be disagreeable but you might want to check out a few Supra vs motorcycle videos on You Tube , I have also had many a run in with bikes and can tell you that we can hold our own just fine thank you.

Repman, what are those four chrome bars to the right of the exhaust? Can't make them up in the picture.
