Some years bac i had downloaded this video of a F1 car vs a F-16. That was one awesome race.

Well I had also read and seen somewhere where a Dodge Viper Drags against another Aircraft by the name Viper and wins!

guys,
how can a car win against a fighter jet. The fighter has more more power at its disposal.I know some of u guys may tell its due to the power-weight ratio,but still the people who produce these jets dont inverst billions of money to get beaten by sports car.

rash_rp · 11-11-2003, 08:13 PM

Thats gonna b a hell of a drag....any channel / site where they r gonna show it live / replay.....

Dude, the drag it only until the plane in on the runway, i.e. its tyres are touching the ground. So at exactly the point where the tyres start going air-bourne, the drag is finished. If the car / bike is ahead...ofcourse it wins.

If I'm not wrong, even the Hayabusa dragged with some Jet, and even some car was involved.

Yeah, but not on ground, not till its air borne and its jet engines are breathing fire.

You need special planes for aircraft carriers and even then you need catapults to launch them... not without a reason.

Ofcourse the Viper stayed ahead only until the quater mile mark, after which the jet creamed the viper till the 1 mile mark n eventually took off!!! Yeah it was on Ripleys..
