Both were genuine supercruisers that could accelerate to and maintain supersonic speeds without afterburners. F-22 is by no means the world's first production aircaft capable of reaching and sustaining supersonic flight without afterburners, despite what USAF propaganda would have you believe. Many previous production aircraft, fighters, bombers, and the two SST, could do it. Some of the examples include English electric lightning flighter, and rockwell B-1 bomber, as well as Concord and Tu-144.

Concord and Tu-144 use afterburners because it actually saves them fuel to use after burners to more rapidly push pass the high drag transonic speed range to reach their lower drag supersonic cruising speeds. They could get to their cruising speed without burners, but that takes longer and wastes more fuel because the aircraft spend much more time in the high drag transonic regime. Once they reach supersonic cruising speed, they cut out the afterburner and actually throttle back to maintain speed.

Didn't know that, I did a bit of research and discovered that the TSR-2 was also capable of supercruise as was the TU128(reputedly).

Oh, and the Blackbird( though that goes without saying).

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Blackbird (like the Cobra above) is pure badassery.

Actually, it does not go without saying.

The SR-71 is not capable of sustained cruising at supersonic speeds without afterburners like the Concord or the Tu-144. SR-71 cruises with its burners lit. In fact, SR-71's engines are designed to run in the afterburner mode continuously, and rarely if ever in the dry thrust mode.

For me it would be the latest Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

OMFG are you kidding me?

Before opening this thread I knew what I was going to post. Never did I expect you to post exactly what I was thinking Shock

Love love love Mitsubishi Evo's.

Ofcourse one of their main selling points for me is the fact that they are perfect for modding up.

If I had to choose any other car though, it would be the Lambo Aventador


Also, the best sounding car I've ever heard is the Citroen GT. Sure it looks like a white batmobile, but the noise is unreal.

Since CD has already posted a cobra I'll go with my second choice.

A blown 57 Chevy

Wouldn't mind one of these either.

It's a Russian built Aton Impluse Viking. It's big. It's bear proof. And it floats.

I'll take an old school H1 over that beast. It looks fun, but 82 horsepower and a top speed of 37 mph?
