Result
In the words of Paul Hawker from San Diego (viperclub.org forum)....
The VCA hosted a great event at Luke Airforce base. Under the supervision, and videocameras, of "Ripley's Believe it or NOT!" a F-16 "Viper" fighterjet lined up against a new '03 Viper convertible. It was a drag race for 1/2 mile. To the amazement of the entire military present the Dodge Viper won!
In a rematch a second jet, this time running full military power plus AFTERBURNERS, ran against a Competition coupe. Once again the car won. You could hear the General's jaw drop.
This VCA event raised $25,000 for charity, so you might say everyone won.
Special thanks to Tony Estes for perfect execution, and a great fun time for all, and Jon Brobst for bringing this concept to a reality. The great driving from experienced drag racer Herb Helbig showed the USAF how to hustle down the track.
A great VCA event.
