Default OT: Rocket Bike Beating a 'Porsche'?
Evidentally theres some kind of generic Porsche:

0 to 60 miles an hour in five seconds—fast enough to beat a Porsche in a drag race.
No real reason for posting this, I just found it entertaining to see them compare the bike to a Porsche, and not specify the type at that.

I liked the 911 that Eddie Bello of Bellotech had that beat turboed Hyabusas. I've seen pics of it smacking the back bumper on the ground from wheelstands. I think it was a low 9sec car IIRC.
