Car: 2000 Civic SiR Rep Power: 24 | Honda (I believe 1000CC) totally custom built bike. Did about 10 seconds. And tell your buddy to get his head on straight (no offense), but a 900HP F1 car vs. 200HP bike!? The bike couldn't keep it's front wheel on the ground if a train were on it. You can't accelerate when you're on one wheel.....well, you can, until you fall off...then you decelerate rapidly while sustaining massive pain. |

Rep Power: 22 | ^ I was laughing at the beginning of that Fifth Gear when they were acting like the race between the bike, boat and car was actually going to be a competition. I didn't even really need to watch the rest of the episode - of course the car was going to win! I also thought it was pretty funny that they were acting like that 200HP boat was actually fast. At the lake near where I live it's not uncommon to see tiny 2-seater boats with 502's in them.

Car: 2000 Civic SiR Rep Power: 24 | ^ Yeah, that boat wasn't anything special IMO....maybe that's all they could get for that ep  |

Rep Power: 0 | Sorry to DRAG up an old thread but i just watched this episode.... i cant believe they even bothered with the boat! And was there ever any doubt the F1 would win??And whats the point of giving the boat a flying start anyway? The whole point of a drag race is to test acceleration as well as top speed! I totally agree with you guys, for a story that took up almost half an episode it was incredibly lame. Fifth Gear should leave this stuff to the experts on the other channel
