Just for comparison, who here currently drives a car
on the street which is quicker than 10.5 through the
quarter? I'll bet not one blowhard here does.
My car will run mid to low 12's all day long, weighs 8x's more than an RC and only has 3.5x's more HP. The RC is 10 years old and quite slow given what new bikes can do.
