Uhh... you expect me to believe that an anthropomorphized mouse and a freakishly lucky road runner (don't give me any of this clever bullshit) are going to be able to out-do Super Sonic?

Nobody said Super Sonic was allowed to compete, only regular Sonic. I voted for Road Runner.

Here's something - Speedy is always in Mexico running around the desert. Does Road Runner ever leave the road?

Edit: This thread makes me want to watch the sonic cartoons.

Umm... RR reads English. Refer to any episode where Wile E. places something on the road with a sign that says "free".

And the road runner holds up a sign that says "road runners can't read."

Seems to be conflicting information. notice the picture near the bottom right. Road Runner is holding a sign that was clearly written by him... in English.

That's because he has a retard for a nemesis.

More like prejured against, since wiley's plans are not too bad, it just keeps backfiring on him since that is the whole point of the show.

Sonic never really went so fast that he'd disappear when running. Only speedy and Road Runner did that.

Since the Road Runner has longer legs, I'd give him the advantage.

So

1st - Road Runner
2nd - Speedy Gonzalez
3rd - Sonic

Then why does he keep ordering EOL/Refurbished ACME products?

they are not refurb...apparently he has a good line of credit with ACME. Other theory involves him being a beta tester or employee of ACME. Read up on wiki

Exactly, no "super" anyones. Regular Sonic with no help from Tails like someone mentioned. It's a foot race! :p

Sonic takes a while to get started.. I know.. I played the games.. But, Road Runner seems to have instant acceleration. Also, Speedy does too.. But, I'd say from the perspective, Road Runner covers longer distance in the same time (running across the entire desert) while Speedy usually ran across the floor of a factory or warehouse.
