Superbike vs. Supercar: Yamaha R1M vs. AMG GT R VS. Corvette Z06 VS. Miata

Still, every handful of years a car magazine asks the question that has been barstool fodder for more than a century: Car or bike—which one is faster?

Folks who caught wind of this experiment warned me that the ‘Vette would be unruly or otherwise difficult. And yes, if you leave a gas station with cold tires only to jump on the boost train willy-nilly, it’ll snap sideways and slosh dark roast out of the cupholder. But once the tires come up to temperature, the Z06 is seriously athletic. There’s nothing like carbon-ceramic brakes and contact patches the size of Utah. The feeling of pushing your foot down and spurring 650 horses is special, and the Z06 will forever be the machine that showed me the light.
