A good bike to use in a time trial road race would have to be a time trial bike. It is a racing bike that is designed for use in a individual race. They do have racing bikes also.
It's a drop bar road bike for most of the race, and a time-trial road bike for the individual pursuit stage.
the road race / time trial circuit is 23.8 miles, the mens time trial cosisted of 2 laps the womens only 1 the mens road race was 7 lapswith an earlier introduction couse of 15 miles or so the womens was 3 laps with the intro
race of truth, TT, contre la montre (french). The Time Trial Stage in a Road Bike Race is often reffered to as the Race of Truth. because it one man / woman against the clock and no advantage is gained through team tactics as in a road bike stage race.
Not really. It won't have the gearing and it won't let you get aerodynamic enough. Odds are you wouldn't even finish the race, let alone be competitive.
It depends, on the rider, the race course, the competition and the race conditions. Cut from http://cyclinginfo.co.uk/blog/timetrials/training-for-a-10-mile-time-trial/ A Ten Mile time trial can taken anything between 17 minutes (over 32mph) and 35 minutes. Compared to an ordinary road bike they're usually a few% faster.
Anywhere from $300-$2,000 depending on brand, size, features, and type (time trial, Tri, classic road).
A race road bike
Sure, but if it has tri/TT bars you probably will have to pull them off to be allowed into an organized event. Expect to be losing some due to the fairly extreme riding position an all out TT bike will put you in. For ordinary road(group) racing most riders prefers a bike that's a bit more flexible in terms of use.

A road bike is faster on the road than a mountain bike. That's all
1.5m in 4min =36km/hr which is about the average speed of a bike race (at the lowest amateur level) for about 2hrs or so. Nothing special, but its good for you ;-D
The design of race bikes like that is highly restricted by competition rules, so there really isn't much about then that can be changed even if you have access to new materials.
