I think the term "wasting power" is incorrect. A car is much quicker because it has four huge tyres at each corner plus ground effects that let it stick to the road around corners. Bikes don't have either. Take just the wings off a F1 car and lets see how it performs.
LOL. Whichever way u look at it, it's wasting power. Why do you wanna handicap a car? Why not try n improve the bike?

Thats like saying "Remove the wings off a jet fighter and then lets see him try n beat an F1 car".

I think thats why we refer to it, as a "CAR". If it had 2 wheels, it would have been a bike.

Thats exactly the point. It's the design that makes it slower around a track and makes it waste more power. Similarly, it's the design of the jet fighter, that makes it faster than a car. U just gotta accept some things the way they are, atleast until someone redesigns them for the better.
