Here is a little video of it running against what I think is a T-6.
Thats not a fair race, the 1938 Texan T-6, a trainer can only go 200mph @ 5000 feet (170 at ground level) never was anything fast. just because it flies, does not mean it's fast.
Thats like a street car running against a pro stock.

The truck has 3 modern turbine engines, the Mig has 1 old school 1942-56 engine (the Mig-15 motor was used in Mig-17's), which did go 650mph, but it didn't accelerate as per today turbines.

It's still a cool picture!
