Default F-14 vs. F-15 accel.

Any of you Turkey drivers (let's say A or B) ever have a
drag race with an F-15, or compare Dash-1/NATOPS and see
which one had better 1g Ps? I was just wondering which
could out-accelerate the other assuming similar
configuration Let's say air superiority with 8 missiles, or
else both clean). Assuming a subsonic start I'd expect the
F-15A to take the lead initially, but then once it hits
transonic and the Tom's wings start to go back, I'd think
the latter might pull even or ahead. Any opinions based on
practical experience out there?
