I don't advise you to drive ONE THOUSAND MILES PER HOUR, but if you ever DO want to.. well... then THIS is the car to do it in. The people of the Bloodhound Programme , Ltd, are building an interesting car. This car, designed to go over one THOUSAND miles per hour, uses a Cosworth racing V-8 engine... to TURN ONE OF THE FUEL PUMPS. This car uses an after-burning fighter-jet engine... for THE LOW-SPEED PORTION OF THE RUN. Truly breaking every rule of convention, the Bloodhound seeks to exceed one THOUSAND miles per hour... with a driver on board, steering it through the desert. This App, by Austin Meyer, the creator of X-Plane, is no game. This is a REALISTIC representation of what it will be like to drive this car... undoubtedly the FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD. If you can master the Bloodhound in this App, then you will actually be familiar with the operating characteristics of the real car.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Drift'n'Drive at 4.1 against Bloodhound SSC's 3.5. Drift'n'Drive also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 24 months) and review sentiment (59% vs 47%). Bloodhound SSC's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
