Friday conundrum
Discussion
Lets say a TVR enthusiast spends a great deal of time, money and effort and manages to get his pride and joy to achieve a top speed of 200mph.
A race is set up and the TVR reaches 200mph before crossing the startline of a 1/4 mile drag strip.
As the TVR crosses the startline a top fuel dragster launches.
Who crosses the finish line 1/4 mile (402m) later first?

Ok red star is rewarded.
Thats near enough as Sammy ran 3.583 @ 386.26 at Santa Pod in 1984 (avg. speed approx 251.18).
Apparently his eyes were bleeding afterwards.
So a Bugatti Veyron would be required to win the race.
For the 3rd and final part of the question....
how fast would you need to be travelling to beat Kitty O'Neils hydrogen peroxide jet car circa 1977? (unofficial times will be accepted)
