The 777 didn't use anything close to full thrust on the run I watched. Bah!

That was a no contest.Black Beauty blew that Boeing 777 into the weeds.

I think the Euro-fighter racing the Ferrari F1 was a little better.

I think the 777 possibly had to control its thrust use, because the aim was to have it on the ground rather than have it take off really quickly since it was light on fuel & had no freight or passengers

If you want a real comparison of accelleration, lets see which can get to 900kph the first, (cruising speed) from a 500kph rolling start....

Oh wait, the car cant even go 500kph? lame.

I think it's a stupid comparison

top gear did one between a veyron and a eurofighter i think it was.

Just seen the numbers and the 777 was using minimum thrust to keep it on the ground. Full thrust and it would have been at 1000 ft by the time the car crossed the line...

Wasn't that one where the eurofighter had to climb to 1 mile and back to ~ground level to pass over the line, and the Veyron had to go 1 mile on land and back?

fairly close from memory, should be showing when the new season starts soon ish.

Eurofighter won that by a tiny margin too...wayyy more impressive than an A1GP car racing a manatee :lol:

The real question is, what would happen if the 777 was on a treadmill going backward at the same speed the wheels were going forward....

:lol:

^^ you would get some verrt hot wheels... and most posibly berrings... the real question is how long would it take for them to blow apart/cease??

It would sit there, looking like a 777 sitting on a treadmill that had obviously been produced specifically for it, without any actual purpose.
