I am all one for thinking outside the box for races, but I think Top Gear may have caused everyone to have to get outrageous on occasion. Take the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, praised for its extreme horsepower, and what it was put up against. If you ever debated between getting a Challenger Hellcat SRT or a F16 Fighter Jet, then I have a video for you.

Yes, that is an absurd thing, but never let it be said that for all my complaining, this is a guilty pleasure. The guys at /Drive decided to put the Challenger Hellcat SRT up against the Fighter Jet to see what would happen, but they didn’t plan on having the race during a monsoon.

That causes the Challenger Hellcat SRT to have initial trouble achieving the full potential. It’s no question that once the F16 gets up to full speed, it will pull ahead of the muscle car. The question to ask is how will it fare in this terrible, wet weather and how much can it gain on the fighter jet before it reaches full takeoff speed?

Watch the video and see for yourself how the Challenger Hellcat SRT does against the F16 Falcon:
