Yes you read it correctly.....CA Automotive have challenged the owner of a lightening Fighter Jet to a drag strip style race against the stage 4 supercharged 'bionic bannana' E46 M3. The date is Sunday May 27th at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground (www.bruntingthorpe.com) & the race will be around 12pm along the main runway. The event will be covered by the TV show 'Pulling Power' as well as Kerrang Radio and a number of BMW/Performance related magazines. Entrance charge is £10 & there will be many other attractions such as a number of rare Italian exotics on display from Joe Macari Cars (www.joemacari.com), CA Automotive will have a stand selling almost everything on the CA website (www.ca-at.co.uk), Kerrang Radio's Tim Shaw will have his awesome E46 vert on display along side some of the best BMW's in the country. A percentage of all profits will be going to a childrens charity |

D'ya mean an English Electric Lightning?
My money's on the fighter. Rapid beasts they were. Faster than some of the current stuff IIRC... -------------

What distance is this over? If a shorter distance my money's on the car. IIRC Ferrari F1 V's Eurofighter, Ferrari was quicker over a shorter distance, that was in the wet as well. Before anyone else points out CA's car is not an F1 car, the Lightening is not the Eurofighter either.... -------------

AFAIK the English Electric Lightening isn't allowed to fly anymore due to it's age/air regulations or something. Also JC has one in his garden IIRC and his wife nearly dumped him for the mess he made draging it accross the lawn.
