Here's some food for thought: how can a BMW X6 M defeat a supercar like the Ferrari 599 GTO in a drag race? Tuning, of course! The Bimmer we're about to watch, was tuned by the guys from PP-Performance and is a hell of a car.
After they were done with it, the car reached 760 HP instead of the stock 555 HP coming out of the twin-turbo S63 4.4-liter V8 under the bonnet. This makes it a stage 2 vehicle.

Today it's going against a stock Ferrari 599 GTO, a car that has 670 HP and 620 Nm of torque, reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.35 seconds and was the fastest Ferrari ever built until the LaFerrari F12 Berlinetta was launched.

That is very impressive from the Italian supercar. However, in drag races power isn't everything. Get a lousy driver and your car is bound to lose. That's exactly what happened here, since even with all that power, the X6 M shouldn't've stood a chance yet it won!
