Drag Race: Corvette vs F/A-18 fighter jet
What happens when you race a Blue Devil against a Blue Angel? The latest Corvette ZR1, otherwise known as the "Blue Devil," is the fastest production car GM has ever built. It takes on a $25 million Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet.
In a one-mile drag race, can the 638hp Blue Devil compete against those 32,000 pounds of thrust powering the F/A-18? Take a look at the video of this epic race (the actual contest, sans guff, starts at 8:17):

I've seen the Blue Angels myself. Their jets are sessy. The guys are real cool too.

Well if they are saying that the new ZR1 can go faster than a Bugatti Veyron (which it cannot) then there will be at least some compentition. Click on handle to see the results of that race...Also the Veyron has about 300 more Horse Power.

Didn't "Top Gear" do this way sexier, with way better cinematography, and a way better car and fighter?

Yes they did.....with a bugatti Veyron......a car that can do 251 mph and 0-60 in 2.7 sec. Everyone copies them

i love how they assimilate the corvette
to a ferrari and lambo and porsche's when they arent meant for speed.
they're there for rich people (who cant drive for crap) to look nice
there are so many civics who can rape on them
VW's, nissans(not just the GTR) and even some hyundai's.
and a fully rocked zr1 vs a stock gtr.
yeah, i think the the corvette would win too.
a rocked zr1 vs the hennessy GTR.
haha. okay. see if that works.

The only people who argue that Corvettes are incredibly awesome are those who don't have the money to buy anything better. Oh, and folks who love Corvettes probably love NASCAR, lawl... Those guys turn left better than anyone else!

not true. the corvette is the man car.
and i work with cars, so i see enough.
id rock one, but for the price a
fully Suped GTR could rape.
im not old enough to make real money.
in college. when im done though,
i could afford one.
