Default Drag Race: A1 vs............Boeing 777?!

Sorry if it's a repost. Seriously....why pick on a heavy like the 777? If they wanted the F1 to race a passenger airliner, they should have chosen a 737 or something atleast lighter than a 777. Nevertheless, pretty entertaining

that's an A1, not an F1. Those cars use 3.4L V8s making 550hp and a chassis that weighs 600kgs, F1s make 780hp from a 2.4L V8 and weigh 605kg.

Hey you are right! Thanks for the clarification I assume if it was an F1 it would have been no competition at all...

That, and the 777 wasn't at a complete disadvantage, each engine puts out 98,000 pounds of thrust!
