this guy doesn’t know anything about aviation he thought that the vette was actually thought he was going to beat the f-18 with ge turbofan engines of 32,500 pounds of thrust afterburner and in top that he says the pilot was cocky and he thought his zr1 was going to beat the fighter that something that will never happen does turbofan engine spools in less than 3 seconds to full power and then afterburner
Wow thats a great Video! im actually a sailor on base @ NAS, and i just want to let everyone know how incredibly Awesome it is to see the Blue Angels Perform…Day in and Day out
that kid is a bad ass. he sounded like he was sitting in a recliner while he was yankin back on the stick at mach1…
Aegonzlodziege – The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 technology that you arrogantly look down your nose at, totally embarrasses the mega-dollar, quiche-mobile European cars.
This is a forum for automotive ENTHUSIASTS not BASHERS. Stop the hate.
Colmillos101 – Son, you’re missing the Cartoon Network.
23al100 – Yeah; is English your second language, or are you just a high school drop out?
liquidated20 – Bugatti didn’t make a video. Top Gear did and they COPIED Motor Trend. Secondly, “Though shalt not take the Lord’s name in vain”. Thank you.
FAKEEE!!! AND GAY!!!!!!!!!
Oh God. Their trying to make a video like Bugatti did. Gay! But I still love this car. Only thing good that EVER came out of American motors.
Actually, a lamborghini beat an italian panavian tornado, but the tornado is so heavy.
look man, its a typo….i meant hand brake….@ top speed is self explanatory……just 4 kicks is understood as just for fun..anything else ?
23al100 – What is a, “janbrake”? “@ top speed”? “Just 4 kicks”? Beg your pardon?
Jocelot18 – Many of us saw the Top Gear copy of Motor Trend’s jet vs car race, yes.
jonisginger – No car in the world is going to defeat a U.S. Navy jet fighter plane in a one mile race. Besides, this video isn’t about a, “race”, it’s about promoting the U.S. Navy Blue Angels an the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
BombEatingPacMan – Uhhh…he didn’t say the Corvette ZR1 is the fastest car in the world. He said it is one of the fastest, stock, regular production cars in the world and he’s right.
uhhhhhhhhh guys
hes a liar
that is not the fastest car in the world
No chane, Veyron would also get smoked very very easily.
Why? One way trip, straight line, nothing beats a jet fighter. It was going 345mph.
Now if there was a return trip, small chance, but keep in mind the Veyron was beat racing the Euro Fighter Typhoon this way.
Does look phenomenal though.
Get the Veyron, then you’ll have a race on
WoW
yall should see the bugatti vs a jet.
lol
nomejodaspincheputin – Americans have always referred to themselves as Americans because that is what we are; Americans and we always have been historically referred to as Americans. We live in a land known as America in the continent of North America. I hope that’s okay with you.
quater mile in 11 sec??? lmfao shit i seen turbo scions do 8…!!!
The link below is a true tribute to the ZR1. Check it out guys..

The Beauty is that this old technology still outperforms the new stuff. The Viper acr never met a ferrari or lamborghini that it couldn’t destroy on the track. Like this other guy says, the V8 ultimate aero goes faster than a veyron with how special it is supposed to be. By the way, the Veyron is also one of the worst track cars in the history of the world.
