Motor Trend: Corvette ZR1 vs. F/A-18 Hornet


The 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has dominated most every production car it has been pitted against, especially those in or around it's $100,000 price range. So Motor Trend decided to go one further and put the ZR1 up against something with a little more power - an F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet from the Blue Angel squad.

While the ZR1 puts out 638 hp and hits 60mph in 3.3 seconds, the Hornet is capable of mach 1.8 and 32,000 pounds of thrust. It may not sound like a fair fight, but the rules were the first one to hit the one mile mark would win. Hit the video to see who wins.
