Not to mention, your stupid notion that just anyone who buys a bike could hop on it and race lambo's and other cars without killing themselves is ridiculous. It takes skill and balls to race a bike, and maybe a little stupidity. But it's not as "easy" as *******s like you tend to make it seem.
Corvettes are nice I'll admit. But they are for mid life crisis balding fat men.
Mustangs are for soccer moms or mid 30's dad bod "bros" that wear affliction t-shirts and bad religion jeans.
Subarus are for teenage girls and boys with stupid parents. They always have exhausts and COBB tuning stickers and none of them can actually drive. Subarus sound like chit and they are a dime a dozen. I'm pretty sure their bottom end can only handle 450-500 ish hp without having to be fully built.

I wouldn't waste money on any Japanese car except a gtr but the new wrx's have become more "mature" looking. My next door neighbor has one. It's slow as chit though. And he said its stage 2. I had an 06 wrx that was stage 1. That was way faster than the new wrx. Good cars though. But jap cars these days are so boring. V8 all day.

Was looking at these and ended up finding an older vette with similar performance, leather interior, targa glass roof for like 10k less. And I'm saying all this with Mustangs easily being my favorite 2+2 ponycar. I also somewhat think Mustangs keep going up and up in price, which is disappointing. Think the Bullitt is 45k+, which just seems nuts for what the Mustang, I think, should be.
I also really dislike the lack of Mustangs ever using a sunroof, but I know that's what the brand is.

Oh yeah the new fa20dit is the future for Subaru but the stock tune blows. And the WRX gearing blows. Maybe that's why my 06 felt faster because it was the 5 speed. His car is a 6 speed with really close gears. So his 1st maxed out is like 28mph lol. Its really chitty. He has to wind it in 1st every time just to keep up with traffic.
My car at 28mph is like 2100rpm lol. I love my car.

Quick for a street car is now low 11 to high 10's in the 1/4. If you show up to my local track running anything slower than 11s then they assume you've never came before LOL.
Still love the turbo AWD cars, though.

In terms of price to performance, yeah a C6 z06 with a blower probably wins out, but it isn't always about that. There's a reason why Porsche sells a ****load of Caymans even through they're vastly underpowered to their competition. You can pay 80 grand and only get 300 horsepower.

Most GT350 racing teams swap back to cross plane for multiple reasons.
C7 corvettes(which can be had reliably at 55k) pretty much win every US track race against gt350s,(which are egregiously marked up from 55k by dealers) with some exceptions. The GT350 does well considering it's the s550 chassis, but there's not really any magical performance advantage that it has in it's class albeit handling or power.

Unlike the Hellcat at least the engine is made in the USA and not Mexico. I'm not sure what else of the car is, but guessing it isn't Canada, also like the Hellcat.
If I'm buying an American car, I'd prefer it be made in the US and not Canada and Mexico. But that's just me.

Test drove a 350 at a Carmax. While the sound was intoxicating driving around, it's just a lot of money (Relative of course) to pony up for a mustang.

Either way it's a good car, practical but too slow for my taste. Even sti's are slow. I was looking for a daily and I was watching some sti videos. Even bolt on sti's I'm watching the speedo and it accelerates slow lol.

The GT350 should be Ford's 1LE package, and it shouldn't be 20k more. Unfortunately, there are masses of baby-boomer fan boys who are waaaay more into the "heritage' of a badge instead of the performance of a platform. They can't see the forest for the trees.
The GT500 typically massively dissapoints for the money. I don't know what happens, but on one end Ford has the most bang for buck platform for performance on the low end yet sells "premium" factory cars that built off that platform that are just the WORST options possible for the money.
Anything over 55k is vette with a blower territory. There's no point in considering any GT350 or GT500.

The last GT500 was in 2014 and came with 662hp, which was the most powerful production V8 at the time, starting at $55k. How is that a massive disappointment for the money? A Corvette with a blower is not $55k, but rather $80k.

Anyone in 10 years will be able to find a used 2018 Mustang GT in whatever color they like with their choice of options, but GT350s will probably be scarce. Look at the 03/04 Mustang Cobras STILL going for a decent about of money and still a car that with bolt ons will give most modern sports cars a run.
The last GT500 was in 2014 and came with 662hp, which was the most powerful production V8 at the time, starting at $55k. How is that a massive disappointment for the money? A Corvette with a blower is not $55k, but rather $80k.

650hp with exotic supercar looks and a warranty for under 70k. The bargain of a lifetime

When cars race bikes, they are almost never from a dig lol. People take them on the highway and go from a roll, 60-150 etc. In which, like my car, and bikes (mostly liter bikes) only need to change gears twice in that MPH range. My 3rd gear at redline ends at 130mph. And i have enough torque to start the race at 60 in 3rd. So i only need to change gear once, racing anyone from 60-150. Same case could be applied to a liter bike.
That's the all more reason why cars these days can beat bikes, for every reason you said. The aero, the way the front wheel wants to come up, changing gears. While obviously it takes a little skill to get on an actual bike and ride, it takes more balls and stupidity to want to race them on public highways to race cars. LIke you said, being at speed on a bike. More balls less skill. Anyone could hop on a bike and go WOT in full tuck, anyone straight from an MSF course could accomplish this. That's what i did when i got my license, was max out the bikes i first got. Starting from a chitty ninja 250. It was stupid me doing that, doesn't mean i was skillful. I had just got my M license.
In a car, you actually have to control it as well. When you punch the throttle, you have to worry about the rear end getting loose.And the more power your car has, the worse it can be. Then you still have to worry about getting it sideways when you shift. These roads aren't prepped for these shenanigans.

I'm sorry but if you truly believe that it's harder to race cars then...
A. You have never actually stepped foot on a powerful bike
Or

I just hate how unoriginal subarus are. I hate how abundant they are. I hate the exhaust note and I hate how everyone that owns them thinks they are fast.
All of you *******s would guaranteed talk **** on someone who drives a riced out Honda civic.
But it's pretty fukin funny that none of you can see the striking similarities between an early 2000s civic and modern day wrx's. They are both riced the fuk out and they both sound like chit and almost all of them are owned by children who don't even know how to drive.
That's not insecurity in the slightest. I could buy one today if I truly wanted one.
