Someone, somewhere along the way wondered to himself what would happen if you raced one of the fastest cars in the world against a U.S. Navy Fighter Jet. You can probably reason how this turned out, but for the sake of watching things in action, this video is absolutely worth a watch.
Motor Trend worked it's magic to pull together an unofficial race between a Corvette ZR1 (the "Blue Devil," as it's been dubbed) and a Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet. (They may be powerful, but realistically these are two very different beasts.)
"0-60 3.3 seconds vs a jet that can break the sound barrier. Seems legit…" wrote one commenter.
However, others on the thread seemed mostly thrilled by the logistics of seeing these two incredible machines in action in a single video. One response commended the ZR1's speed and agility, saying, "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."
I'm not going to ruin the fun for you, so check it out below.
