I saw a cheetah make a kill about 200 yards away from me in Kenya. It went from lying down to full sprint before I even saw it stand up! One of the coolest things I have ever witnessed.

Awesome animal for sure.
But even with it's speed and handling characteristics only half of the chases, which last from 20 to 60 seconds, are successful. |

That had to hurt plowing into that termite mound at the end. Probably not as much as it ended up hurting the hare, though.

So where in the video do they actually prove that it will go zero to 60 in three strides...and 3 seconds?

Sure had a bit of trouble snagging that hare. How fast can hares run?
|

Wow. Go to the 2:45 mark and watch how freakin' fast the cheetah accelerates to gain on the rabbit after making the turn. Unbelievably fast.

not faster than Red Victor 0-60 in .9 seconds. Worlds fastest street legal car.
Red Victor 3 In mid-2011 performance specs for the still in production RedVictor3 were released by VXR. It uses an 8.8L Twin Turbo engine producing 3000 hp at the rear-wheel. Red Victor Racing predicts 1/4 mile times around 6.5 seconds at 240 mph, and 0-153 mph in 4.8 seconds. Red Victor 3 will still be street legal, and use pump-gas on the street.[1] Thus it will be quicker than Larry Larson's '66 Nova, which recently trumped Red Victor 1 as the fastest street legal vehicle. It now is the worlds quickest and fastest street legal car in the 1/4 mile as of June 2012, with a 6.59 @ 220 mph elapsed time. Cool vid. TXL |

Nothing builds stuff to kill the way nature does. Bullshit. Let that cheetah piss off the Klinton's and see who kills better.... |

Pontiac Fiero is the fastest. Everyone who is anyone knows this.

However the cheetah does it with just a couple horsepower, the Red Victor 3 needs 3000 HP. |
