I wouldnt count on it. a 1000hp corvette has about .24 horsepower per pound, while the motorcycle has .45 horses per pound. add a 200 lb rider/driver and those numbers become .25 and .29 respectively. that means there is a bit of a horse power advantage for the bike...however, turbo powered cars have incredibly flat torque curves with high amounts of torque.

This would probably be a close race, but with proper tuning, the corvette could probably add 100+ more horses and a lot more torque. of course, that's just my
