  Corvette ZR1 Loses to FA 18 Fighter of Blue Angels

The Corvette ZR1was no match in a race with a FA 18 Blue Angels Fighter. 628 horsepower up against 32000 pounds of afterburner thrust over a mile runway, just didn't have a chance.

The Corvette was blown off the runway at about 80 mph, barely getting rolling.

Motor Trend tried to make this dramatic, so the action in the video starts about 8 minutes in. If you want to hear all the "set up" to the mismatch of the century, start at the beginning.

$110,000 Corvette ZR1 against an $25,000,000 FA 18 Blue Angels fighter? Nice publicity stunt, but who gains in this deal? The Navy? GM? Corvette?
