Space Shuttle Anecdotes
Discussion
The Saturn V was majestic - if not a bit ponderous - off the pad.
The Shuttle took off like a scalded cat.
They both developed around 7.5 million pounds of thrust on lift off. However, the Shuttle stack was lighter tahn the Saturn V so had a better power to weight ratio which enabled a quick getaway off the pad.
