Ofcoarse depends on the plane... but it's a cool match.

The airstrip had a big a** peace sign painted on it

Cool vid Kenji4861, thanks

is it just me or is part of the right side messed up?

They lined up a jet on takeoff against a viper I think once. I have even seen a hotrod mag where they lined up a jet on a steam catapult against a Top Fuel dragster.

HAR HAR HAR, wot a load of crap:

Couple of points:

- The Z was rolling when the plane came in, the scene was cut to show stopped then it was doing 70-80Mph
- The plane was running at around landing speed
- It's a Single engine Prop FFS....

So what exactly does this video prove? Not much.

 

[Alphazero]

The Cessna 152 is pretty slow. I think it only has a top speed of around 120 knots.

 

[rootaxs]

The Z is quicker from a stop. On a roll the Z also has a higher top-speed which makes it faster.

Homervoice: How does the automobile compare to, say, a locomotive? /homervoice

They did a F1 car against a FA-18 Hornet once. The car won at 1/4 mile.

 

[DeafeningSilence]

pretty funny

Most any car can out accelerate a plane from a standing start. Must less inertia to get moving. These comparisons are just publicity stunts rigged in advance.

Yep. I'd rather see a comparison of which can go from 400 mph to 600 mph faster.

SNL Bears Fan1: Okay. Who would win between Ditka and a Hurricane.
SNL Bears Fan2: Is it a full size Ditka or a mini Ditka?
SNL Bears Fan1: Mini Ditka.
SNL Bears Fan2: Hmmmm.
SNL Bears Fan2-4: Mini Ditka.

What if the Hurricane's name was Hurricane Ditka?

Already been done w/ a 9 sec. z06! But cool nonetheless.

Who cares if it won or not, or if it was doctored or not.... that is a badass video!

Nissan 350Z: 3225 lbs.

Cessna 152: 1136 lbs.

inertia: The tendency of a body to resist acceleration; the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in straight line motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force.

On an HP:Weight ratio, they're pretty close

now lets see them race from san diego to san fransisco

His post was about inertia, though

Anyway, see if you generate more friction w/ two rubber tires on pavement, or a propeller in air

 

[Kraeji]

This is so gay...

I fly Cessna 152s.. and its basically one of the slowest planes you can fly.. top speed is 145knots in smooth air (167~mph)

On top of that..the plane wasnt flying very fast..The plane was flying almost in ground effect.. i bet it was running near idle about to land.. no where near full throttle

what moron made this video?

They've also done a Callaway TT 427 Vette against a jet fighter. The fighter was absolutely dusted in all the acceleration tests, both 0-60 and 1/4 mile.

Well obviously a car accelerates faster than a plane. Even fighters accelerate slowly.

they also did a blue eagle fighter jet vs. a vette zo6 and basically they said yeah car wins, until you hit bout 100 then the car is screwed

The steam catapult jet against the top fueler was super close. They had to only go 300 feet cause thats how far it was till the plane took off. The jet won because the concrete was virgin and the fueler spun the entire distance but later on they timed it at a real strip and the "car" would have won by a hair.
