I beg to differ on both accounts I have an R1 and I have done about 10,000 miles on track.
IMO there are 3 main areas to compare bikes and cars:
Acceleration
Cornering
Braking
It will definitely be able to out corner all bikes, and likewise out brake them too.
And unless there is anything extreme out there it will be able to out accelerate them as well.
4 wheels with power

Done 80k road miles on my current Blade and was thinking more of filtering through traffic.. lol
I think the Atom must be pretty much a good match on a track or probably handles better..

At the moment a lot of this is speculation, I can only quote dyno readings for the engine and the weight of the car.
Also the car has been out handling all of the competition on the circuits, and that is in its basic format, ours is something quite different.
I wont shy away from the question, but you will have to wait a couple of months for the answer.....Sorry
