    The Age Old Question: Which is Faster? Jet or Car

    In an all-familiar situation some where in Asia they pitted a Porsche 911 GT3 Carrera Cup Car against a 747. Guess who won? The first of the two videos is better.

    Was on the news here last week or so. Interesting experiment... I would've thought Top Gear would be the first to do that.

    I guess they figured a veyron vs a euro fighter was good enough. They do pretty much the same thing over here with a viper and an F-16. It's been escalating recently with the addition of turbos to the viper, then afterburners to the F-16.
