old, but who cares?

I saw an old video of a race between a motorcycle, a car, and an F-14. The motorcycle pulled way ahead at the start, but the car overtook it about halfway down the track. Meanwhile, the Tomcat is just sitting there on the start line. After a while, the Tomcat finally goes, and blows past the car with like 20 feet left to go until the finish. I wish I could find that video again...

Dude, you have to find that.... Do you remember what kind of bike and car they used?

Porsche vs. Yamaha vs. Jet
I remember seeing an English version of this video and the guy driving the bike said he had problems shifting, and that’s why the car over took him.
What is the jet?? looks like a Mig 23 from some angles and then a Tornado.

Yeah, that video's all over youtube, but I just can't find the f-14 race one.

I wish I could find the video I would swear I had watched in which footage of an F/A-18 launching from a carrier was cleverly edited to make it appear like a real-time race with a top fuel rail dragster(i.e 400 metres from a standing start in 4 seconds)... Very funny!
