I don't have a front sway bar though so turning is definitely a problem and I think a run away shopping cart could out handle me.

i didn't mean it to sound like a fast bike always beats a fast car in a straight line. not sure which liter bikes you held off but i find it hard to believe that you could hold off any of the top 10 liter bikes to 150. the wind isn't an issue on these bikes, i've ridden a couple to over 165mph. we're talking sub 3 second 0-60 and quarter mile times of sub 10/140mph.
back to why a car beats the bike in the turns/on the track- tires.
