To be really fair, they haven't timed the Cheetah chasing Usain Bolt. I wonder if the Cheetah could do better if it has a fast and (relatively) tasty target.

Mine does 330' (100.584 meters) in 5.763 seconds..so for a 'typical' car vs cheetah for 100m, I'd be betting on the car.

I'd like to see like superimposed runs.... cheetah starting from the van, Bolt starting from a starting block. Hell let's throw in a drag race and a plane on a runway..... LOL

So that makes the cheetah about four times faster than you or me.

can fried chicken hold up at sustained speeds, or would the breading and skin fall off?

He's Jamaica so it'd be best to have him chasing marijuana.

Fixed.

The cheetah isn't starting from a standstill. The timing is between the two flags by the look of it.

Isn't the MR2 quite light and powerful to begin with... and you have modded it.

The average econobox is going to get killed by the cheetah.

Bolt's 23 MPH was for the whole 100M, I heard that at his peak, he was hitting 30 MPH

Depends on your car. Generally speaking, a 6 sec 330' (~100m) time at the dragstrip would work out to about 14 secs at the end of the 1/4 mile. That's pretty fast for your average street car, but hardly mindblowing.

My guess is a cheetah will always be able to catch whatever it is chasing in 30 seconds.

Could you run 70mph for 30 seconds?

I just have to be faster then the other fatasses in the group :laugh:

Zoo tour guides like that joke.

:Q

They don't use the word fatass...In the Toronto Zoo there is a propane driven tour trolley that goes around the back of exhibits and they always say that joke when we get to the cheetah section.

"Do you know how to avoid being eaten by a cheetah?"
"By running faster than other people in your group."

Yeah, you gotta figure a cheetah in a zoo is way outta shape. A wild cheetah could probably run that in half the time.

Note to self... don't try to outrun a cheetah. :Q

Run in circles.

cool. i'd like to see it in slo-mo.

 

[Homerboy]

If anything this just make Bolt even MORE amazing (not to detract from the magnificent cheetah... always one of my favs).

I agree. Look at the euphoric expression on the cats face.
