Thats great, but im thinking we are not on the same page. 2 wheels will accelerate faster in the straight aways, but the cars will take the corners faster.pigs like the Mustang aren't in the same league as a well ridden motorcycle. Once you start talking very well sorted cars then the script can flip. However, a motorcycle back in 2008 set a VIR North course record of 1:23 (https://www.roadracingworld.com/new...ike-pole-position-with-new-lap-record-at-vir/) and the same year data for cars (http://ncrscca.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/NCR_VIR_North_Course_Track_Records.pdf) shows the 4-wheelers aren't remotely close. A more recent listing (http://www.formulavee.us/track_records/track_records_USA.htm) also shows cars can't compete with a 10 yr old superbike.
Now at Leguna Seca the bike record is/was 1:23.4 as recently as 2017 and in 2016 a viper ACR did 1:28.65.
With enough of a straight-away cars can narrow the gap but as a general rule, motorcycles are massively faster. And 2-stroke shifter carts can be faster still.
But you should compare apples.
F1 vs MotoGP
The best vs the best
