Even though I am Canadian. The end of this video gets me every time when he says "Is that the US of A builds two of the worlds most monumental and unforgettable speed machines. It doesn't matter which flavor you prefer, this is american engineering at its best. Red..... White..... and very very Blue" I am happy to be in a country that we can mutually call brothers. No matter how many times a watch this, that ending makes me proud to be Canadian and brothers to our fellow Americans!
In my Army unit from Ft. Bragg we had a French-Canadian that volunteered for the US Army to go to Vietnam. We loved Pierre…. That was his true first name.
Great story. Beautifully done. Good job Arthur! One of my favorite fighter jet flight videos. As a crewchief working on F-15's in the USAF in the 80's, I had the extremely fortunate opportunity to go back seat during mock combat in an Eglin AFB 33rd TFW 59th AMU F-15B over Germany while on TDY. We pulled 8.1 gs during a dogfight against an F-16. It was freaking incredible. I also had a 900 Ninja I used to ride around the base perimeter road. I would drag against the Eagles and loose regularly.
I'm impressed. He is older and heavier and I thought sure he would use the barf bag and never expected he would even try 7 gs much less survive them. ....hats off to you sir.
When Baxter does his solo run in the Vette, watch how he alternates his vision from the gauges to the windshield. Just like he's in the Hornet. The pilot in him takes over.
@@DeiHarper9361 Yeah unless you’re so in tune with the car you know it’s redlining and time to shift without looking at the tachometer. I’ve been driving my car for over 10 years and I still keep an eye on the tach
My dad (USAF Col. Ret) was a test pilot for years at Edwards AFB, where the sonic booms rang out loud and proud all day long.. I never heard mention of the Hicks maneuver that they use to keep from passing out. I'll have to ask him more about that and other flying-related material during our next time! Pretty scary stuff. Awesome film!
Some of the training that all fighter pilots (actually, all military pilots) go through is what's called High Altitude Training, or Physiological Training. I did mine 20 years ago at Tyndall AFB, Florida. One of the parts of the training while sitting in the "tub" or Chamber, is to have the oxygen on 100% Emergency. The air is literally forced into your lungs. This is necessary as in high G, you would not be able to pull enough air in. I can tell you from the training, just sitting there with the air forced in, and trying to state my name, birthday, hometown... I got barely the first letter out of my first name. I have been up to 7Gs in the backseat, but hearing the guys in the front just chill while up to 8 or 9 Gs is always funny to hear.... Just another day in the office for them.
This video at 9 years old made me love the C6. At 18 join the Air Force (I know, sacrilege to a Navy video), at 19 buy a C6 Z06, at 21 modify it to 600WHP. C6 ZR1 Jetstream Blue is my goal by 30.
Anyone ever set up next to an airport runway, even with a commercial jet, presumably loaded, and thought it might be a race? I did once, when I was young and dumb. OKC, around 1989. B737 versus Ford Bronco 2. When the football was cleared for T/O, I gassed my ford all the way and within a few seconds I had my ass promptly handed to me by the Boeing. By the time I reached 60 the lumbering passenger jet had more than twice the forward progress I had. It wouldn't have mattered what I was driving. That moment taught me that these are different creatures. Any comparisons were just for fun. So I knew before watching this video who won. Just watched it anyway for the entertainment. Now I drive 105,500 pound trucks and am one of your local truckers who mash 5 or 6 gears before I even get through an intersection from a standing start. Always wanted to be a pilot. My dad sat me in a T38 when I was younger than 5. Always had the bug, but life doesn't always give you what you want. And by the way, if you think this F/A 18 accelerates fast off an airport runway, you might want to see it launch off a carrier. 0-140 in 2.5 seconds. Munch on that.
Even if he were racing a humble 172 Skyhawk I'd still take the Cessna over the 'Vette. After all, no matter how powerful a car is, it will never be able to climb into the sky and soar with the birds.
Johnny And no car, no matter how fast, can give you that sublime thrill when you realize that you are no longer borne by wheels, but by wings. This is the real ecstasy of aviation.
SUPER FANTASTIC!!! Riding in a super sonic jet would be the ultimate rush to be experienced. I remember when "Top Gun" first showed in the theaters. It too was a total rush.
I don't understand why all of you haters have even watched this video in the first place if you think it's 'lame'?! Seriously y'all need to grow up, can't you just watch the video and enjoy it, you don't need to be an ass if you don't like it. Gosh this video was made to put smiles on people's faces, not to prove any point ... I watched this whole video with a smile on my face, due to the fact that it was made for entertainment purposes. Did you not hear the guy at the end say that this was to show that any guy at any age will take an opportunity to have some fun in something that goes fast?! Stop complaining people ... don't like it or thinks it's lame here's a simple fix, hit that little 'x' button up in the right corner and keep your comments to yourself.
Joseph Murray I can handle the comment I was just saying that other certain people might now be able to ... But you seem as if though you have no remorse whatsoever so I'm not going to waste my time talking to a virtual wall. You're rude and nothing's going to change that, I feel bad for the people who have to deal with you on a daily basis
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to drive a ZR1, and it was nothing short of incredible. The thrust that the LS9 makes literally causes the muscles on face to strain, and makes your vision fixed. But whats maybe even more impressive, is how unbelievably easy it is to drive. Im not a novice at manual transmissions, but at the same time i'm not a seasoned pro. I never stalled the car once, in the three of four times that i drove it. Its very easy to shift, the clutch is pretty light. Its not scary at all during "normal driving" but just feels like its waiting for you to stab the gas so it can pounce. The feeling of torque is always there. Really amazing sounding when you put your foot down and the valves open up too. The new C7's are cool, but i prefer the styling on this C6 ZR1 over that. If you ever have the CHANCE to drive a C6 ZR1.... DO IT! One of the best cars i've ever driven. Saying that, Ive driven a Mclaren 650S, Mclaren MP4-12C, Every Aston Martin except the One-77,Lamborghini Murcielago, Ferrari F430,Porsche 911 Turbo S, Porsche Carrera 4S, Lamborghini Gallardo, Mclaren P1 (VERY VERY BRIEFLY AT LOW SPEED),Audi R8 V10. The ZR1 may be cheaper then alot of the higher end cars i've been lucky enough to drive, but the performance of the ZR1 is mind blowing, and I LOVE the feel the car has. I feel like they will definitely go up in value in the future.
Bugatti veyron got even closer to win a jet on topgear :P and there the jet got so much speed coming down. this means bugatti veyron still beats up zr1
This host looks like the textbook stereotype of a "Southern Bubba American" who buys a Corvette. That is coming from a Southerner. You can notice them a mile away. Them and the Camaro/Mustang crowd go together.
That ride was brutal...I’ve done an hr of aerobatics in a 1943 AT6...and that scrambled my insides...we did a max of 4.5 gs...that was nothing compared to what they did....awesome.....
+Motor Trend Channel WOW...this is no small AMBIENT ADRENALINE RUSH!!! Dedicated to all the Corvettes I've ever loved, to all past/present VERY FAST Chevy's I owned/own and love...and to the custom-built plane on my wish list...!!! Thank you and GOD Bless you, Motor Trend! Most importantly, GOD Bless the Blue Angels and the USA!!!
still nothing compared to what Blue Angels pilots pull. over 9+ G's over and over during minimum-radius turns that pull the blood from your head, loops, barrel rolls, and inverted flight that pushes blood into your head.
In my job I have been fortunate to meet many F-18 pilots. 3 of the pilots I've met are or have been "Blue Angels" including 2 lead pilots. Even though they belong to the most elite of the elite in our armed forces, they downplayed their importance and skill. I may have only been a contractor doing my job to them but I was honored to meet them.
+Drone Killkam Not at all, those cars suck at the drag strip they usually run 11s and 12s, the ZR1 will easily take them in a drag race. Hell my trans am will take all of these in a drag race lol. I have vids on my channel to prove it.
in my opinion it's more about priorities 1-do you use it for a drag race only ? 2-do you use it on track for 10 laps ? 3-do you run cross country and just enjoy driving ? I would like a car that may not be drag racer but I would like a track car that corners well and gets out of corners without under or over steer , an occasional long distance is good too.
What's funny is he didn't even go full power on the jet. He went to minimum afterburner. If he was at full power, you would see blue flames extending about 10-15 feet out the back of the plane and honestly, if he had done that, I doubt the ZR1 could have even passed it. But the sound would be incredibly loud.
The blue angels are 63 years old, but still look beautiful in they're own unique ways. Simple yet elegant. Plus the fact that they're ferocious beasts with Mach one speed. Still a classical beauty
Mmm... a Corvette can eat a Nissan GTR for breakfast?? Maybe until it reaches the first corner or bend and the 'vette skids helplessly off the track into the nearest hedge.
weatherguy173 True that, though I find that having a super car or hyper car is like having a Mac. It's not all about speed, it's about style and status, which is something not all people think of. In my opinion the Corvette is just an ugly piece of plastic.
Guy Wood the thing that sucks about it is that everything is electronic so anybody can drive it like a pro. I respect it but I like a car that needs more skill to drive.
Are you serious, this car against a jet This car apparently eats Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche This car is faster then Super cars. WOW. Its like saying, "I would rather eat lettuce than chocolate because it tastes better. Please!
***** The F-18 certainly _can_ go past mach 1 at low altitude if they possibly disregard laws, But again the thrust SCC would probably win because of it's acceleration.
WhackyJ in AK The twin seater they were in was an F/A-18B Hornet, and the main 6 single seaters are F/A-18A's, but they're transitioning to the F/A-18C and D Hornet.
WhackyJ in AK XD That's not a fucking F/A-18 E Super Hornet (Single Seat), and the F model is used by the military. It's a F/A-18B Hornet. I would rather see a F-14D Super Tomcat.
Why do Americans build big fat overweight cars with big engines. The Mercedes A45 AMG is a 2.0-litre turbocharged producing 355bhp ,with four-wheel drive and rapid-fire twin-clutch gearbox, it delivers performance to rival a supercar Read more: www.autoexpress.co.uk/mercedes/a-class/a45-amg#ixzz3E4Vd2e8o
Mavairo lol look at how much bigger the ZR1 is it has 4 more cylinders and has an extra 4.2 litres and has way more break horse power my point is you don't need a big ass sports car we already know Mercedes make faster super cars and now there little 2 litre turbo are catching you up i guess you're to stupid too see my point
Dude that little Mercedes can't keep up with a C5 ZO6 ie a car from 2004. It pulls less on the skidpad, and stops worse, and is slower in a straight. And you think it can compete against a ZR1? LOL. Oh, liters mean nothing. Weight Means Everything. And guess what? Turbo 4s aren't light. Keep dreaming eurotrashboy. Mercedes makes nothing faster than a ZR1. Period. They're no where close around any given road course. There's only one car from Europe faster around a track right now than the ZR1, and that's the Porsche 918 Spyder. And that lasts only as long as the batteries do. Once the batteries run dry the ZR1 catches and takes it. Oops. And the C7 Zo6 is going to beat it or equal it anyway.
I think you're high. You have no idea how physics work. "only one second" you say? 3.3 seconds... versus ALMOST FIVE. That's almost TWO seconds, just to sixty. That little mercedes won't hit anywhere near 200 mph. The corvette will without even trying. That little mercedes won't even pull a sub 1:40 around Laguna Seca. A corvette nails it in under 1:34. And the NEW vette will be even quicker. Secondly it's not faster than a Camaro around a track. Also turbo fours are not all that fuel efficient. Come back when that little four banger mecedes out performs a TEN year old Corvette ZO6. By the way if that 4 banger mercedes is so amazing...why is it not even the quickest thing mercedes makes? Why is it Mercedes uses large displacement V12s then if that turbo four is so awesome? Why is it even when they break out the big V12...it's no where in the same ballpark around ANY road course as a Corvette? Because they Suck, worse than the Italians even. Oh right.... because when it comes to real high performance turbo 4s aren't it on anything larger than a motorcycle, or Atom. Keeps up with the best america makes. Yeah right. Keep telling yourself that, as your little mercedes blows it's rings out, falling a over second and a half behind JUST to sixty. Let alone in a 1/4 mile. Or any distance farther...or when things get twisty, with corners....or when it comes time to get on the brakes. That turbo 4 merc won't even keep up with a 2004 ZO6, on OEM grade tires. Let alone modern rubber. The best car Mercedes makes is the SLS AMG. And you know what? It's slower than a Viper. Not even a TA...the base Viper..which guess what? the ZR1 was quicker than. QED Mercedes sucks even with a 600 horsepower V12. Which by the way gets worse fuel mileage than the OUTGOING LS9 (the ZR1 engine) and has a lesser warranty. but ZE GERMANS MAKE THE BEST...yea right. Leave it to Ze Germans, to struggle to make a car that still can't beat a car that was put into the wild in 2009. Or for that matter...still not beating a car that was put into production in 2004. (the 2004 not 2014, not 2013 004!, hits sixty in 4.2 seconds. that's right, on 2004 tires, the C5 ZO6 is STILL faster, than your 'great mercedes' by half a second to sixty. To say nothing of the flogging it'll get when things go curvy) By the way 4.7 and 3.3 isn't even in the same zipcode...and the 2014 ZO6? 2.95 seconds to 60. If you think that mercedes is anywhere close, because "it's only 2.2 seconds!"... I have swampland to sell you. I'll put it to you this way so you can understand. A 1989 Corvette, Base Car with a mere 245 horses thundering under the hood, is closer to your mercedes to 60 mph...on it's Original Tires, on modern rubber, it's even closer (5.1 seconds to 60...without foot braking 4.9 with footbraking) than your mercedes is to even a 2014 Stingray. To say nothing of a 2013 ZR1, or 2014 ZO6. Congratulations, for backing a car, that can barely beat out a car that was built in 1989, and thinking it has a prayer in beating anything even made from 2004..let alone 2014.
Ok. Don't listen to the kids below. Fucking stupid. The latest C7 Corvette Z06 with the Z07 Performance package can beat every single car you mentioned and the C6 ZR1 which you refer to. HOWEVER, the person who replied it can beat a Mclaren P1 on track is HORRIBLY wrong. Neither the C7 Z06 Z07 or the C6 ZR1 could beat it. However the C7 could come close to it. Go check it out. Pretty amazing car consider the corvette Z06 only cost $79,000 plus about $9,000 for the Z07 package. Pretty cool that a little cheap American car could decimate much more expensive cars like the aventador.
I love the Vette, had one, but it couldn't have been much of a race against a F/A-18 fighter jet, at least not for very long! A fighter can't slow down too much or it will lose its lift! I watched the Blue Angels during Fleet Week in San Francisco and was always awed by their precision flying! Remarkable!
fjr2004 lol! now imagine how bad that souped up 5.0 would have beat a gtr. its obvious the 5.0 wasn't running stock parts unless the zr1 driver just sucked ass. this is assuming of course that the video you saw even exists. but yeah cool comment dude
use a fucking F1 car for this. a civilian car vs a military fighter jet is just stupid. put the ZR1 up against a 737 or something. something that the public has no access to like a fighter jet should be put up against something else that the public has no access to, like a race car
***** the general public can regularly ride in and experience the forces generated by a 737 as well as (if you're lucky or rich) the ZR1, or any other similarly performing car, whereas people very rarely get to experience a fighter jet or a race car
Even though I am Canadian. The end of this video gets me every time when he says "Is that the US of A builds two of the worlds most monumental and unforgettable speed machines. It doesn't matter which flavor you prefer, this is american engineering at its best. Red..... White..... and very very Blue"
I am happy to be in a country that we can mutually call brothers. No matter how many times a watch this, that ending makes me proud to be Canadian and brothers to our fellow Americans!
And we are proud to have you Canadians flying the F/A18 in your Canadian forces.
Ya man we love ya
We call you people snow Mexicans
LW Canuck amen brother.
In my Army unit from Ft. Bragg we had a French-Canadian that volunteered for the US Army to go to Vietnam. We loved Pierre…. That was his true first name.
These guys have balls of steel. I am so glad we have these guys and girls flying these jets. Nobody can best them.
0-60 3.3 seconds vs a jet that can break the sound barrier. Seems legit...
Well you obviously dont understand the Physics of a Jet Engine.
ThePaint Well that is true, but I don't get your point. I just saw a sonic boom in the video and posted this comment.
Navneet Kaur its about the acceleration, not about the otp speed.
Navneet Kaur the jet didn't go supersonic in the video. There was vapor condensation on the wing.
Navneet Kaur oops, sorry. Thought you were talking about a different part in the video. My bad!
5:07 This hornet here can go about Mach 1.8 which is roughly 1400 mph
“Ok that’s pretty fast”
right😂
yeah technically it is faster than the speed of sound
@@vincesu2738 That’s what anything >Mach 1 is.
His problem was he forgot to kick in the afterburners on the ZR1.
+labidomosquito lol
No the jet was gonna win regardless...
Everyone knows that Dion, it was just a joke.
The F/A-18 wasn’t even in full burn

Common guys. Did you seriously think a car can beat a US Jet?
A car will never be as fast as a jet.
Do you think a car can beat a normal jet?
LOL
No, but did you seriously think some people thought that?
I think a modified porsche 918 spyder could beat the jet
I'm impressed. He is older and heavier and I thought sure he would use the barf bag
and never expected he would even try 7 gs much less survive them.
....hats off to you sir.
Unfair test. Should have been x-15 vs like a frikin office chair.
I feel so American now
Couldn't agree more!

seriously u hv to
Those pilots must have laughed so hard when they heard about comparing a jet to a car
I know right. Jet flies at Mach 1.5+ or more, while a car drives at 200miles and hours
We're so glad you enjoyed it! What else would you like to see?
That's how freedom sounds like.
+Gage Plays (Gage the Gamer) the sound of justice 😂
the pilot is comfortable above 7 g he talked like he was relaxing.
guess you get used to it like anything else lol
7g is nothing compared to what those guys pull in combat sims.
Yeah I pulled 14G in Warthunder the other day
i blacked out last time i did that in bomber

I miss THESE MotorTrend style videos
The car is beautiful, but I enjoyed the jet fighter part of the video way more. :-)
The old man did damn good for not passing out or throwing up.
he did good on not taking a crap.
I was literally waiting for him to throw up. He must be some what used to motion sickness though, as he is a test car driver.
They already did that with the Bugatti Veyron and the Eurofighter Typhoon
Blue Angels are AWESOME!! Saw their performance so many times and still LOVE IT!!

ZR1 is a pretty amazing car for the price. Let him brag it up.
+Wade French But "Fastest on the planet"
Lol yeah right. He is a fuckng liar.
One of the fastest. fucking idiots.
Disgusting? bruh, it's just some youtube video.
Bugatti veyron got even closer to win a jet on topgear :P and there the jet got so much speed coming down. this means bugatti veyron still beats up zr1
The blue Angeles are flying at the air show today at tenner air force base
Nothing can ever beat aircraft in speed!!
These pilots are just amazing.
the corvette isn't considered an exotic like the bugatti is right? i thought it was in the sports car family.
This host looks like the textbook stereotype of a "Southern Bubba American" who buys a Corvette. That is coming from a Southerner. You can notice them a mile away. Them and the Camaro/Mustang crowd go together.
That ride was brutal...I’ve done an hr of aerobatics in a 1943 AT6...and that scrambled my insides...we did a max of 4.5 gs...that was nothing compared to what they did....awesome.....
Thumbs up if you are watching in 2015!
next contest, Blue Angel VS me in NIKE Air in 100 meter race.
Expressrrôôttft̉́thdêwd
Outcome you lose
XD
Ben Whoever oh, you'll definitely win, my guy! It's so obvious! 😂
So you say the name of the car, but you don't mention the name of the F/A 18? Or, 'jet' I should say.
Also btw, at maximum thrust such a jet could easily lap that car twice
they said it multiple times, ears use them please
+Motor Trend Channel
WOW...this is no small AMBIENT ADRENALINE RUSH!!! Dedicated to all the Corvettes I've ever loved, to all past/present VERY FAST Chevy's I owned/own and love...and to the custom-built plane on my wish list...!!! Thank you and GOD Bless you, Motor Trend! Most importantly, GOD Bless the Blue Angels and the USA!!!
Imagine 2004 F1 drivers pulling 5.5-7g under braking and cornering over and over again.
still nothing compared to what Blue Angels pilots pull. over 9+ G's over and over during minimum-radius turns that pull the blood from your head, loops, barrel rolls, and inverted flight that pushes blood into your head.
corvette vs Fa18 why make this video every body knows that the plane would win
+Carter Busby Because it's cool as shit that's why
You damn right!!
+Carter Busby It was set up the plane to win no one wants to embarrass the US Air Force
+Zak K Um, or the Navy?
Steve Kauffman and national guard
the end was patriotic
I keep watching this video over and over and over again
"I'm sure I destroyed him in mileage" I died xD
Top Gear's car vs jet race was much more fair
it was, and the plane still won
You know why? It's because PLANES ARE FASTER THAN CARS
no
Cut to 8:00 if you wanna spare yourself from awful commentary.
God bless you son
you can learn new something dont be ignorant
That guy reminds me of why I don't care for Corvette guys..Arrogant arrogant arrogant!
Goated
Right at the start of the video I could see the TACAN on the airfield. I went to school at NAS Pensacola, FL for the TACAN while in the Marines.
Isnt the bugatti the fastest car???
ben young yes it is even the 09 Vayron would kill the ZR1
No the Hennessey venom gt is the fastest car in the world with a twin turbo V8
Travis Knighton
Venom GT top speed: 270.49 MPH
Bugatti Veyron: 265 MPH
Koenigsegg One:1 top speed: 273 MPH
ben young
What type of bugattis out there theres veyrons and other types of bugattis
$25,000,000 jet
Not bad.......
Let's change that period to a comma...
Lol
Morse Code Speed King
let's change that period to pregnancy...
Whatever, Tom Cruise beat a F-14 on a motorbike.
In my job I have been fortunate to meet many F-18 pilots. 3 of the pilots I've met are or have been "Blue Angels" including 2 lead pilots. Even though they belong to the most elite of the elite in our armed forces, they downplayed their importance and skill. I may have only been a contractor doing my job to them but I was honored to meet them.
seriously a Lamborghini for lunch and Ferrari for breakfast !!!!!
again , seriously ?????
It's a retarded thing to say
+Drone Killkam Not at all, those cars suck at the drag strip they usually run 11s and 12s, the ZR1 will easily take them in a drag race. Hell my trans am will take all of these in a drag race lol. I have vids on my channel to prove it.
Bet you can't find a list of cars that are mass produced that will outrun my trans am (5.80 1/8th mile 8.90 1/4 mile :-)
in my opinion it's more about priorities
1-do you use it for a drag race only ?
2-do you use it on track for 10 laps ?
3-do you run cross country and just enjoy driving ?
I would like a car that may not be drag racer but I would like a track car that corners well and gets out of corners without under or over steer , an occasional long distance is good too.
mrhesham9090 ya not to hurt anybody's pride but "like a brick with wheels"
What's funny is he didn't even go full power on the jet. He went to minimum afterburner. If he was at full power, you would see blue flames extending about 10-15 feet out the back of the plane and honestly, if he had done that, I doubt the ZR1 could have even passed it. But the sound would be incredibly loud.
Is this just like...a shotty ripoff of the Bugatti vs Eurofighter that Top Gear did?
They did it before top gear bruh...
Michael Montgomery
how so topgear did it in 2008 this was in 2009
UNHOLY GOD Racing a car against a plane is a concept as old as planes.
But the Merican one
More like an American version of that.
The blue angels are 63 years old, but still look beautiful in they're own unique ways. Simple yet elegant. Plus the fact that they're ferocious beasts with Mach one speed. Still a classical beauty
It is still a chevy
Did these people though actually think a car can win. Did they forget about supersonic
Mmm... a Corvette can eat a Nissan GTR for breakfast?? Maybe until it reaches the first corner or bend and the 'vette skids helplessly off the track into the nearest hedge.
it depends on the driver
weatherguy173 True that, though I find that having a super car or hyper car is like having a Mac. It's not all about speed, it's about style and status, which is something not all people think of. In my opinion the Corvette is just an ugly piece of plastic.
Gtr is better, v6 vs American v8...... Corvette supposed to be faster than v6 gtr and still gtr is beating all American muscle v8 cars
The GTR's one of the best handling pure track cars ever created, the Corvette's American. 'Nuff said.
Guy Wood the thing that sucks about it is that everything is electronic so anybody can drive it like a pro. I respect it but I like a car that needs more skill to drive.
this is a great video and it has saved me a lot of time trying to figure out all the tools. Thanks Anthony.
8:27 "see ya later, loser car!" xD
Are you serious, this car against a jet
This car apparently eats Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche
This car is faster then Super cars. WOW.
Its like saying, "I would rather eat lettuce than chocolate because it tastes better.
Please!
At the time of this video...yes the Corvrtte ZR1 was faster than same years Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini.
It's so obvious only a Thrust SSC could beat a blue angel
On a runway, due to its acceleration sure. But if the f-18 was already in the air, it could go almost twice as fast.
Spartan 0136 l
Birthday
It's only a one mile race. Not to mention jets don't go much above mach 1 at low altitude.
***** The F-18 certainly _can_ go past mach 1 at low altitude if they possibly disregard laws, But again the thrust SCC would probably win because of it's acceleration.
I love the blue angels!!! I go every year to see them in Pensacola
that walk trying to look cool with a beer belly, meh.. =P
In typical corvette fashion, the driver likely had multiple excuses on why he lost.
being a smoke jumper is alot more awsome
So, if the Bugatti Veyron couldn't beat it, how would a 'vette? Why dont I bring out my Civic and see THAT comparision? 😉
Is this a joke? hahahaha XD. there is no way that any car will get close to a speed of any jets.
+Lance Ian Michael Brofar He wanted an excuse to ride in a jet.
***** hehe
How about the Thrust SSC?
+Mike Harahap not even close.
+Mike Harahap No not even close. F18 is still faster by about 450 mph...
It's an f18 right?
gotta love blue angles!!!!
Yep, F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet!
WhackyJ in AK The twin seater they were in was an F/A-18B Hornet, and the main 6 single seaters are F/A-18A's, but they're transitioning to the F/A-18C and D Hornet.
WhackyJ in AK
XD That's not a fucking F/A-18 E Super Hornet (Single Seat), and the F model is used by the military. It's a F/A-18B Hornet. I would rather see a F-14D Super Tomcat.
Yeah, I didn't see the seat arrangement.
Awesome Video!
Why do Americans build big fat overweight cars with big engines. The Mercedes A45 AMG is a 2.0-litre turbocharged producing 355bhp ,with four-wheel drive and rapid-fire twin-clutch gearbox, it delivers performance to rival a supercar
Read more: www.autoexpress.co.uk/mercedes/a-class/a45-amg#ixzz3E4Vd2e8o
4.3 seconds to 60... lmao. that's C5 ZO6 territory. Almost a full second slower to 60 than the outgoing ZR1. Supercar performance lmfao yea sure.
Mavairo lol look at how much bigger the ZR1 is it has 4 more cylinders and has an extra 4.2 litres and has way more break horse power my point is you don't need a big ass sports car we already know Mercedes make faster super cars and now there little 2 litre turbo are catching you up i guess you're to stupid too see my point
Dude that little Mercedes can't keep up with a C5 ZO6 ie a car from 2004. It pulls less on the skidpad, and stops worse, and is slower in a straight. And you think it can compete against a ZR1? LOL. Oh, liters mean nothing. Weight Means Everything. And guess what? Turbo 4s aren't light. Keep dreaming eurotrashboy.
Mercedes makes nothing faster than a ZR1. Period. They're no where close around any given road course. There's only one car from Europe faster around a track right now than the ZR1, and that's the Porsche 918 Spyder. And that lasts only as long as the batteries do. Once the batteries run dry the ZR1 catches and takes it. Oops.
And the C7 Zo6 is going to beat it or equal it anyway.
lol overpriced POS Mercedes.
I think you're high. You have no idea how physics work. "only one second" you say? 3.3 seconds... versus ALMOST FIVE. That's almost TWO seconds, just to sixty. That little mercedes won't hit anywhere near 200 mph. The corvette will without even trying. That little mercedes won't even pull a sub 1:40 around Laguna Seca. A corvette nails it in under 1:34. And the NEW vette will be even quicker.
Secondly it's not faster than a Camaro around a track. Also turbo fours are not all that fuel efficient.
Come back when that little four banger mecedes out performs a TEN year old Corvette ZO6.
By the way if that 4 banger mercedes is so amazing...why is it not even the quickest thing mercedes makes? Why is it Mercedes uses large displacement V12s then if that turbo four is so awesome? Why is it even when they break out the big V12...it's no where in the same ballpark around ANY road course as a Corvette? Because they Suck, worse than the Italians even.
Oh right.... because when it comes to real high performance turbo 4s aren't it on anything larger than a motorcycle, or Atom.
Keeps up with the best america makes. Yeah right. Keep telling yourself that, as your little mercedes blows it's rings out, falling a over second and a half behind JUST to sixty. Let alone in a 1/4 mile. Or any distance farther...or when things get twisty, with corners....or when it comes time to get on the brakes. That turbo 4 merc won't even keep up with a 2004 ZO6, on OEM grade tires. Let alone modern rubber.
The best car Mercedes makes is the SLS AMG. And you know what? It's slower than a Viper. Not even a TA...the base Viper..which guess what? the ZR1 was quicker than. QED Mercedes sucks even with a 600 horsepower V12. Which by the way gets worse fuel mileage than the OUTGOING LS9 (the ZR1 engine) and has a lesser warranty. but ZE GERMANS MAKE THE BEST...yea right.
Leave it to Ze Germans, to struggle to make a car that still can't beat a car that was put into the wild in 2009. Or for that matter...still not beating a car that was put into production in 2004. (the 2004 not 2014, not 2013 004!, hits sixty in 4.2 seconds. that's right, on 2004 tires, the C5 ZO6 is STILL faster, than your 'great mercedes' by half a second to sixty. To say nothing of the flogging it'll get when things go curvy)
By the way 4.7 and 3.3 isn't even in the same zipcode...and the 2014 ZO6? 2.95 seconds to 60. If you think that mercedes is anywhere close, because "it's only 2.2 seconds!"... I have swampland to sell you.
I'll put it to you this way so you can understand. A 1989 Corvette, Base Car with a mere 245 horses thundering under the hood, is closer to your mercedes to 60 mph...on it's Original Tires, on modern rubber, it's even closer (5.1 seconds to 60...without foot braking 4.9 with footbraking) than your mercedes is to even a 2014 Stingray. To say nothing of a 2013 ZR1, or 2014 ZO6. Congratulations, for backing a car, that can barely beat out a car that was built in 1989, and thinking it has a prayer in beating anything even made from 2004..let alone 2014.
Clearly, the jet jumped the starting light. Otherwise...
So this car can really beat Ferrari Enzo,Lamborghini aventador, and get Nismo?
AAAANNNNDDD maclearen p1
+Oles Lazouka and buggati
+RaginWan bugatti is trash
Ok. Don't listen to the kids below. Fucking stupid. The latest C7 Corvette Z06 with the Z07 Performance package can beat every single car you mentioned and the C6 ZR1 which you refer to. HOWEVER, the person who replied it can beat a Mclaren P1 on track is HORRIBLY wrong. Neither the C7 Z06 Z07 or the C6 ZR1 could beat it. However the C7 could come close to it. Go check it out. Pretty amazing car consider the corvette Z06 only cost $79,000 plus about $9,000 for the Z07 package. Pretty cool that a little cheap American car could decimate much more expensive cars like the aventador.
Marco Garcia you do realize a c7 is a 427 not A z07 you dumb f***
I love the Vette, had one, but it couldn't have been much of a race against a F/A-18 fighter jet, at least not for very long! A fighter can't slow down too much or it will lose its lift! I watched the Blue Angels during Fleet Week in San Francisco and was always awed by their precision flying! Remarkable!
the F-22 Raptor tops out at, about 1,600mph without after burners... fuckin hell
Holy fucking shit
I've seen one irl
The black bird is a spy plane that goes over 2000mph
Abdullah Ditta Well yeah I know that, but the Black Bird isn´t a fighter
+WOLF Drc and it cannot supercruise
Lol a Nissan gtr is faster than that in 0-60
LOL, I just saw a video of a 5.0 beating a ZR1....now thats funny!!!!
lol idgaf
Tristan Agakhanyan obviously you do give a f**K enough to type a comment....
fjr2004 lol! now imagine how bad that souped up 5.0 would have beat a gtr. its obvious the 5.0 wasn't running stock parts unless the zr1 driver just sucked ass. this is assuming of course that the video you saw even exists. but yeah cool comment dude
but the 0-100, 1/4 , 1/2 , 1 mile , track times are much faster in the ZR1 than the GTR.
use a fucking F1 car for this. a civilian car vs a military fighter jet is just stupid. put the ZR1 up against a 737 or something. something that the public has no access to like a fighter jet should be put up against something else that the public has no access to, like a race car
or use a Top Fuel for 8gs acceleration
***** the general public can regularly ride in and experience the forces generated by a 737 as well as (if you're lucky or rich) the ZR1, or any other similarly performing car, whereas people very rarely get to experience a fighter jet or a race car
Actually if u rich enough, u can buy a 737 or even 777
737 would still beat the ZR1, what's the point, you can't beat jet air vs car
yes 737 could beat ZR1 in speed
but not 0-300km/h or track
11:25 'Naturally he transforms into a teenager with dad's car keys' LOL!!
That dude is just lovin' it, you can see it in his face!
the DEVEL 16 prototype would easily beat the corvette
this guy lies AF this shit car doesn't eat lamborghini, it eats lamborghini's dust
