It’s apples and oranges this evening as a Whipple supercharged Mustang GT takes on a modified Yamaha R1 street bike. It takes a powerful car to tackle a performance motorcycle – such as the R1.

It has a 5.0-liter V8 engine and a manual transmission. In factory shape, the Mustang GT could produce 460hp. With the current modifications, it’s likely making double that.

This is it! This is the dog’s “paws” for high-performance production drag racing. Gathered here are a trio of the fastest production machines on planet earth. The first two are of the all-electric variety. The third is all forced air induction and internal combustion. Just for good measure, there’s also a souped-up two-wheeler in the mix.
