Should be interesting but surely the 777 wont be able to keep up.
Trying to remember how the Ferrari F1 car went against the Eurofighter. Quote:

If the 777 only had 5% fuel, and no passengers or luggage, and sat there with its engines on 100%, before it released the brakes, it would probably do pretty well.

It will accelerate slowly initially, but gather speed very fast after about 5 seconds. You have to remember that a 777 running GE90 - 115B engines has more thrust than most 747's, and is a lighter plane. The 777 in those conditions should actually win this one.

i still reckon the racer will come out on top, they have absolutely phenomenal acceleration.

Should be interesting though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZhFbSl9cN0 Take off roll commenced at 22 seconds, rotation at 42 seconds. This had 3 hours of fuel onboard at the time, as well as a couple of dignitaries but otherwise, was pretty much empty just like the 777 is supposed to be. Remember as well, at the time of rotation the aircrafts VR would be lower than normal however would still be around 250km/h.

But would it win if they were both on conveyor belts?

I remember Dick Johnson racing an EF or EL supercar against an F-111 here at Amberley back in the 90's. Can't remember how it went though I'd say the F-111 would have won hands down.
