>>Granted, even a modestly powered bike such as this will out-accelerate nearly every "normal" car on the road, but not cars in the same class as a corvette. <<

Who told you corvettes are fast? Corvette's can hardly keep up with old Mustangs, much less even a cheap motorcycle.

There are some options to be had on a vette. Some are pretty fast, if equipped properly, but I agree with you that some of the older muscle cars are capable of really embarassing some of today's overpriced "super cars".

The fastest car I ever rode in (acceleration wise) was a mid sixties model chevy nova that had a de-stroked 400 small block, high rise dual quads, and a stick shift, and who knows what other goodies inside the motor. I guarantee you no american production car made in the last 25 years could come close to it in a drag race. I've driven a ZR-1 vette and I can tell you it would lose badly against that old nova I just described.
