Yes exactly. More weight, needs more power to accelerate, everything else being the same. Talkkng of things that are close to the same, not crazy examples of 500 pounds vs. 4500. However, look how fast motorcycles are with only what, 200 HP? Massive acceleration, but not very good at aerodynamics.

have you ever seen the aerodynamics of a suzuki hayabusa? they are designed for top speed and acceleration that bike was the reason the capped the speed off at 186 back a few years ago.

No I haven't. Not much into the bike scene. So the 'zuki has good aero? What kind of power do these things have, anyway? What kind of power does it take for them to run mid 10s in the quarter? (jacking the thread oops!)

A recent 0-180mph test the winner was actually a ZX-10. Beat the ZX-14 AND the 'Busa!
Had to do with gearing and suspected electronics that limit power.
