The GT2 RS got spanked as expected! You just can't match the power/weight ratio of that bike on a street car. Great video, thanks for sharing.

 

I expected a spanking but not a pure beat down. 11.97 1/4? Isnt that a stock time on a TT? With Nana driving it?
Kinda highlights the point that all the HP needs to get on the ground whilst moving LOL

 

I own a Bimota DB7 which has the Ducati 1098 motor and it is much faster than my 997.2 TT. The problem with bikes, especially a V-twin as shown in this video, is that it is very difficult to launch without doing a wheelie. If they did a rolling start, you would the bike pulling away much faster.

 

I figured the bike would be faster but is a GT2RS is faster than 11.97

 

I know what you meant, just think its crazy that they put the GT2 against a Duc

 

I know the Duc is a sick bike. Most street bikes though I could see the GT2 running

 

I was expecting faster time on GT2RS...What am I missing here? Lack of AWD? Launch seemed to be pretty good but the bike just pulls away.

 

Doesn't the GT2RS have launch control, why didnt he use it?

 

Let's assume the rider/driver is 200 Lbs:

(Bike + Rider) = 600 Pounds and at 200 HP equated to about 3 Lbs/HP - the Duc also has a great LC program

(Car + Driver) = 3,250 at 620 HP equates to about 5.25 Lbs/HP
