Hi Fox,
The Hayabusa absolutely murders the car in acceleration and top speed. (The STI is limited to 180kph) but on a road like the Old Pacific Highway it would prove very difficult to get away from or past a well driven STI. Because of the All Wheel Drive to fire it out of corners and its ability to brake and slide into the corners. A stock STI has 206kw and can accelerate to 100kph in approx 4 seconds so it is no slouch. Once you hit Peats Ridge though, it is no contest. I don't think the STI would know which way the Hayabusa went!. I think the car is only capable of mid 13 second quarter miles.So it is relatively SLOW compared to our bikes capabilities.
Regards
Jeff.
