Bugatti Veyron Vs. Jet Fighter

Freaking awesome hehe

Bugatti Veyron is a nice and fantastic car to possess and if you're looking to rent it then do visit my Car Rentals blog. :twisted:

There was a video floating around the internet with a Lingenfelter Corvette vs F-18 Jet and the corvette kept up with him until he got off the ground. Just google it and I'm sure you'll find it.

really awesome video, i got that on my blog also and other cool bugatti videos you guys should check it out.

Really good video - saw this originally a couple of months ago on Top Gear in the UK. The rest of the show was along the same line too.

I am still with the F-18, getting it to super sonic speed is just crazy.

At full throttle it gets 2.1 mpg! Full throttle is 487 kph however...

Yep, Bugattis definitely own

I've decided after watching this video that my next car will in fact be a jet fighter. Not only can you outrace a veylon you can blow the crap out of rush hour traffic. Sweet.

It's just for fun, guys, not a end-all race to see which is best.

It's funny how even after watching videos like this, I don't want a veyron :P I'd like to sit or drive in one some time, but it's too over hyped in my opinion. Yes, it's fast. But the looks don't appeal to me, and although the waiting list is like 3 years to get one, everyone knows about them...

I would like a jet, however, if anyone has one laying around for a cheap price... :twisted:

Funny thing that the video gets more comments here on John Chow (49 right now) than on Youtube (3).

I think the jet needed to have landed to make it fair.

That's the first time the Veyron lost a challenge on Top Gear, and they blamed Hammond for it. Personally I think he bottled it in the turn, if they'd given the car to the Stig, their tame racing driver, the Euro Fighter may have had a closer race.

WOW! What a CAR! :)

This is so unfair, I though the jet would have to land on the finish line, this is too easy for a jet if it doesn't have to be back on the road!

I've seen this one. The car is fast, but not fast enough :smile:

i feel the need...the need for speed

What a video! The time has come to compare apples with orranges!

entertaining...

I don't think any car is worth spending nearly 2 million USD on since after you drive it off the lot it loses a third of the value...but to each his own.

That was a pretty sweet race!

John, when are you going to buy a fighter jet?

F**ck an A that was AWESOME...

Obelix : These Top Gear guys are crazy.... tap tap tap!!
I love TG!! Woot woot!

Wow John, another one of your interesting posts :)

I love this videos you find!

So who won? YouTube is waaaay too slow from where I live

drools

No offense, cool video, but I'm getting a bit bored of the off-topic posts recently. It seems as if all of it has been useless information. I haven't seen a post about making money online since last week. I'm getting hungry!

now that was a awesome race. jc really has nothing better to do that to sit around and amuse himself and me, thxs.

very cool video but I guess thats why the jet costs 45 m and the car 1.7 m

That is unreal John

Yeah. My 1991 Olds Cutlass Supreme would take both of them out. :mrgreen:

great video.

the question is, does John Chow have a Bugatti or is he too scared to drive one?

Ever heard of fighter goes supersonic barrier on ground? I doubt anyone had. :wink:

A mile run isn't exactly a drag race. In the late 80s early 90s Hot Rod magazine did a drag race between Don Garlit's top fuel dragster and an F18. The F18 was timed launching off the carrier catapult and the dragster was timed for the same distance that the catapult ran. Don won.

that's a bullshit test, that jet fighter has a much bigger turn radius, make it fair and square. 1 mile both ways, with them stopping between those two. No turn radius in the equation.

Also he said, vertical vs horizontal? Nah that jet fighter was in that horizontal race too long before it started going vertically, that's just not fair. If the race would have been fair veyron would have lost big time.

With that said, still an amazing car, on the paper. Still haven't seen any real test runs of it, with sharp turns etc. Only straight where they show us it reaching its top speed.
This got me thinking, might be the only damn thing this car can do reach the amazing top speed, but on difficult circuits does it suck ass?
