Schumacher's F2003-GA vs. Fighter jet.

Has anyone else seen this?

I know F1cars are fast but I had no idea. Look at 600m time.

Grosseto, 11th December – It was 9.30 when the Piaggio P180, the Piaggio plane that bears the Prancing Horse symbol, touched down at Baccarini airport in Grosseto. On board was Michael Schumacher, ready to face a historical challenge in the form of a duel between his F2003-GA and a Eurofighter Typhoon.

Under broody skies, Michael Schumacher climbed aboard the F2003-GA for the shootout with the jewel in the airforce crown.
Three races were planned: the first, over a 600-metre distance that favoured the swift acceleration of the single-seater, saw the F2003-GA break the tape first, touching 294km/h, in 9"4 versus 9"6 of the jet. The second duel was over 1200 metres in which the Eurofighter showed the single-seater a clean pair of heels and sped away with the win in 14"2 versus 16"7.

Too bad the jet got ahead of Schumacher before he had a chance to run him off the road...

Just doing some rough figuring, those results imply 1/4 mile time around 7 sec for the Ferrari.
