When a Porsche 911 Turbo S gets GT2 RS turbochargers, you know this spells velocity trouble. This is precisely what happened to the Neunelfer that brought us here.
The owner of the rear-engined machine took the coupe to the gym and then went drag racing. So we'll start with the tech setup of the German animal.

This is a 991.1-generation Turbo S, whose 3.8-liter flat-six has also gained full bolt-ons, along with a methanol injection system. The machine, which tips the scales at 3,600 lbs, now delivers around 800 horsepower at the wheels, which means it delivers well in excess of 900 ponies at the crank.

And to be able to put that power down (yes, even with the all-paw factory hardware, the Porscha could have traction issues), the owner installed Toyo R888R rubber.

When it comes to the sprinting part, the 911 got together with a superbike. We're talking about a 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.

And while the Kawa had only been modded, this only features a slip-on exhaust - as far as the numbers go, the two-wheeled monsters tips the scales at 420 lbs and packs 170 hp at the rear wheel.

The two beasts had to go through a pair of "practice runs" before getting involved in a proper race: the first saw the rider taking off in second gear, at 45 mph in order to avoid a 1st gear wheelie, but the bike wasn't in its sweet spot. As for the second, this involved the rider being guilty of missshifting (the three battles can be found at the 1:49, 3:18 and 4:02 points of the video).

Oh, and if you happen to enjoy betting, now would be a good time to pick sides for the third race.

Now, please remember to not use such stunts as an example and hit for the drag strip when those inevitable hooning urges happen to kick in, okay?
