Default XJL SC vs Yamaha R6 Guess Who Won?

My friend owns a Yamaha R6 and we decided to have a friendly race. We did 3 runs from 40 and so on.

You won't believe this but I pulled on that bike all three times by a full car length. This is the fastest car I have ever owned. Even faster than my old E55 AMG with 500whp.

Any Jag with the AJ133 5.0 Engine with bolt-ons is just BEAST i swear. The car is like night and day compared to when I had it when it was stock. I have been having no issues with the car what so ever. Just making sure I change the oil more often because the engine is running more efficiently than it ever has and I have been driving it more spirited.

I never knew a big body sedan as big as an S-Class would be able to pull on an R6, 997 Turbo, and keep up with a C7 Z06.

Best car I have owned. Hands down.

I will say nice race and a win is a win but your friend can't ride assuming that bike is less than 5 years old and he isn't 250+ pounds. The power to weight of a 4200# car with ~500rwhp is not enough to beat a 600cc bike. You beat the rider, not the machine.
P.S. A good rider can have a 600cc bike in the 10s ET 1/4 mile.

My friend has been riding since he was a kid and he weighs 160lbs. He was banging gears when we took off. I beat him fair and square. You fail to realize how the car puts the power down to the ground and how the power band is. HP this and HP that doesn't matter. Im making most of my power at the top end. It it really helps me win races and pull on R6s. Your doubt fuels me to win more. lol keep talking....

I have gsxr 750; and nothing on 4 wheels can touch it. If I drop the clutch on 4 k and shift on the redline.... Nothing can touch it other than 3.5 sec or faster 0-60 supercars.

Any bike above 600cc is not worth my time. It will just pull.
