The 2009 Corvette ZR1 is one of the best bang for the buck cars in existence today. At an MSRP of just $106,620, this American muscle car is actually an affordable "supercar" that can holds its own against exotics like the Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari F430, rides that cost two and three times as much. So, if you are the bully on the block with lots of raw power and aggression and not a lot of refinement who's your competition, really? MotorTrend author St. Antoine decided that the Corvette ZR1 needed to pick on someone in a different class entirely, an F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet from the famous stunt team, the Blue Devils. This is a great matchup. In one corner you have the Corvette ZR1 capable of 638 hp and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.3 seconds and in the other a fighter plane with 32,000 pounds of forward thrust with a top speed of Mach 1.8. Vette vs Jet. Blue Devil vs Blue Angel. Who will come out on top? Check out the video after the jump. Read More + Image Gallery >>
