you're not going to get a lot of people here that even know who schumacher is... and if they do they probably hate him for winning everything.

well i'm a ferrari fanboy...

We all know the first race starting at 0 mph/kph/knots will be won by the Car, and it sound's like the second should be the jet.

Half the airshows I've seen have had these type of aircraft/car races.


Lets make it more fun and use a grass or dirt strip and a 130 Herc vs a car.

It would be nice if someone can find the clip of the race.

Anyone not knowing who Michael Shumacher is should shoot themselves.

Who is this Shumacher that you speak of? Is that the guy who has a Jay Leno chin and drives around in a little go cart with a purdy red racing suit?

Pretty cool, I hope someone caps it.

Didn't he direct one of the Batman movies?

according to my calculations for the Eurofighter, it has a 0-60 time of 3.48 seconds with nothing but 2000 kg of fuel (a relatively light load). check them if you want--the official web page says 90,000 N thrust and empty weight of 9752 kg.

i would guess that the ferrari accelerates slightly faster than that to 60 (no published numbers) but the EF acceleration increases linearly while the ferrari goes logarithmically. there are a whole host of other factors here like the friction on the EF but, depending on the length of the course, I bet it will be close.

i love it!

He is going to beat the jet on the short race but be stomped like a tiny ant on the longe race. If the jet was able to be airborn, then Shumacher would have no chance what so ever.

Patrick Carpentier beat an F-14 to the end of the runway a few years ago in an Indycar.
