the F4U corsair was the only WW2 bird outstanding enough to fight in korea as well.:thumbsup:
it is the best piston engined fighter ever, from any country.:willy:
it is also flat out the baddest, coolest lookin' warbird that swings a prop.
there can be no dispute and resistance is futile.:bow:
nonbelievers will be fired upon by robert conrad himself.:wow: :hail:
he's not a fighter pilot but he plays one on tv!
(young guys will not get this, sorry!)

Imagine its World War ll &Your in the cockpit
 

The Planes are Messerschmidts and Spitfires

The Germans have fuel injection and Nos

The Anglos have Superchargers & Carbs

Which plane would you want to be flying?

well...............
 

Because I know the results of WWII and how deadly the this aircraft was, I would have to say P-51 all the way!

but thats just me...

I'll take a Mk 16 Spitfire. That sucker is one wicked airplane!!! :thumbsup:

neither. I'll take EFI & SC thanks!! :cool:

Prefer the ME109 or FW190 either one. Not only did they have FI but they were the first to have variable pitch props which helped them also. Also the ME would spank the P51 at higher altitudes. Times have changed so the choice now would have to be a F15 unless I could get the Raptor!! I have German heratige but would always fight for THIS country. THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE MARINES!!!!

Does this need to be moved to the "Off Topic Forum"?

I read his question as being car related...with a twist?

The debate
 

Its still going on.......Fuel injection or a Carb for forced induction?

The German fighter planes were good in a dive with fuel injection and were fast for a moment until they ran out of laughing gas

The Brits and the Americans were Centrifugal super charging with carbs.....spraying the hell out of the engine with water and alcohol.

The P51 Mustang/Spitfires were faster and did not work in a good dive because the carbs flooded until Ms Tilly Shilling came along and fixed it for 10 cents......

This carb blow thru fuel injection /NoS deal is debated everyday on forums.......looks like nothing is new?

Il take the Mersesmitt 262 and spank all your bottoms

Funny you mention the ME 262, they weren't all that great but since the technology was brand new, if the war had lasted longer there is no telling what would have developed. My dad met the guy that flew the one back that is now in the Smithsonion Air and Space Museum. It was from a captured airfield if memory serves me right. I could spend a day telling of the people that were somebody in WWII that my dad has gotten to talk to and laugh with. Was a great thing growing up.
