56 Chevy beats 56sqn F3 at Leuchars
Not a good result for the RAF! The nations finest losing to a hot rod. I reckon a Shar would have shown it a clean pair of heels!

In fairness I have to admit it wasn't a standard 56 Chevvy and it only had one occupant unlike the F3 which had two, so I guess deep fried Mars bars are off the menu at Leuchars now

Those in the US and Canada would have seen (or heard about) the Les Shockley trucks which race odd aircraft at airshows. Staged yes but very good fun.

Sammy Miller's HTP rocket car (c.1985) would beat the lot of you; 0-300 in about 3 secs!

F3 is second best to what? I'll give you an F15C/E ... but;
GR4? Certainly NOT the best at it's any of its various roles.
GR7? Great at airshows. Cr@p at anything else.
SHAR? You're having a laugh!!
Jag? Right?!
Assuming you're a FJ mate, then "pot - kettle etc"
If you're commenting from a ME standpoint, then I give you that the E3 is the best AWAC platform, the C130 is the best tactical transport a/c but you lose in any other.
In an F3 I've been M2.1 and chased down EVERY FJ you can mention. Turns like a floating log, but when you understand proper ACM and carry ASRAAM, then I care not for your nozzle position!
ps. Typhoon don't count yet until it can actually do a job!
