What it takes to beat an F-16???

[Me&05WRX]

Well according to this video http://videos.streetfire.net/video/8...0805f713e2.htm

A Twin-turbo viper.

**whew** That viper was a breeze getting to 200mph!

[e-merlin]

F-117, F-22, F-A- 18, B-1-B, B-2, can beat an F-16

How about teh MIGs?

Or the Space Shuttle?

[AromaRoyale]

F-117, F-22, F-A- 18, B-1-B, B-2, can beat an F-16

Neither an F-117 or a B-2 will beat an F-16 in any kind of race. .

Max Speeds:
B-2 : 475 mph (764 km/h)

F-117 : 700 mph (1,130 km/h)

F-16 : 1,321 mph (2,500 km/h)

Yes. I'm bored.

[Sasquatch]

Is anybody else getting sick of these threads?

Yes.

Mikoyan MiG-25 Foxbat

http://aeroweb.lucia.it/~agretch/RAFAQ/MiG-25.html << maybe not the most reliable link, but close to what I have read over the years.

Damn near SR-71 speeds. Or SRT-4 speeds.

OK then ... what would we do without http://en.wikipedia.org

[cavallino333]

Agreed.

+ 30...free lives

it definitely was contra

HAHA thats right!! LUVED contra!! OMG i need to load up some of my old Nentendo roms.. i have all those games some where..

[Billsac]

Yeah sometimes they are really ridiculous. Like I have a G35 and my friend has a Kia rio you think I will win? But still people just want to know, so they dont lose their "pride", by losing the race. Can't lose if you dont race.

So... my freind just got the new 07 twin turbo F-16 and he says there's no way I'll ever beat him. I just want to know what else I need, I already have a BOV and CAI. Also on the way is a MBC and fuel cut defender.

Thanks guys

I'm gonna have to say the "X43A Scram Jet" at Mach 10 FTW .

Bingo! I'm glad there are others here who recognize that!

that just means you're old...or a child of the 80's ( like me)

I'm sick of the threads too at this point.

As far as your question though, look into a deal on the Rafale or the Eurofighter Typhoon and make sure to figure in the cost of re-configuring ground support etc..
