A sad F-35 vs M3 story
So I was on my way back to LA from Oxnard, CA and there was this gray F-35 Lightning II (09 production I think) launching off of the USS Nimitz next to me on PCH. He had like 5% tint I think and I couldn't see him. I didn't want to race him so he banked to my right side and just flew along side by side with me for a good 45 seconds. I had radar jamming on all along so the road was clear and I figured "what the hell." I put on neutral and started revving a few times and the dude hit his afterburner. I smoked him so bad that he became so tiny in my rear view mirror. I was up to mach 1.5 I think. He tried really hard too.
Anyway, the sad part was when I slowed down to 600 mph and he caught up to me and raised his canopy and nodded his head and said, "not bad, not bad..." Then about 2 minutes later, I think I saw some smoke coming out of his port inlet and he had to eject . That really sucked for him. If it was my jet fighter, I'd just press that US Navy Assist button lol. Either way, it sucks when you are stuck in the middle of the ocean.

Thread reported to the moderators. You guys should not in any way condone racing to Mach 1.5 on public roads.
