This is like comparing chalk and cheese or apples and oranges. Both are best at what they do.

Glad we agree on something.
With or without the Targa Roll bar it is still a Dodge Viper.

In fact, Jag sports, Vette & Viper all have a good reputation as effective 'budget' alternatives to the real pricey exotica,
although for practicable speed on a tight budget, fast motorcycles - do of course - piss all over real-world road cars..

Until they have to go around corners.
Guess what proper roads have lots of corners.

Snetterton run what you brung

Top road motor cycle 1 minute 31 seconds
Ford Capri budget saloon 1 minute 25 seconds

The stop watch never lies or so I understand it.

Real aero-downforce & super fat sticky tyres convey certain advantages, & esp' for race vehicles..
..but for on road/real world conditions.. ..not so much..

Even on the track, & at a fast flowing place - Phillip Is GP..
.. the production (road) bike 250cc fastest lap - is as quick as the best time put up by a Mitsubishi Evo turbo AWD..
