You want 1000bhp/ton? but you only want 500bhp? How are you planning getting a Corsa LET down to 500kg's?!

He's not going to use a Corsa 
WTF WHERE IS YOUR QUOTE?
[Edited on 27-06-2008 by S214_UPP]
I deleted it because I realised he's not using a Corsa
Fucking

Yea true, if say you've got Rossi on an R1 or R6 against your average jo then the bike would probably kill them
However if say the driver was the stig  and he was driving a caparo T1 then the bike wouldn't stand a chance!!! 
Yeah -- agreed... Bike is still more practical than a 500bhp LET, however.

If where talking practicality, the bike would be fun. But the westfield has more storage space

A member on here called Bux has a really well set up LET (that he's built by himself!) thats not running stupid amounts of power (around 280bhp iirc) and it ran a 12.2sec quarter down at the Pod earlier this year, and thats without the Nitrous running.
Now if i'm correct, Muppetsport ran mid 12's with 442bhp, which goes to show, power isn't everything, its the whole package you want

Surely thats with a diff?

Yeah, but how many miles did he do? I used to live in the red line and I've done £40 in a day on the bike before, but that was riding (hard) all day long. An R6 will probably take more abuse than a 500bhp LET.
