Is a car faster than a plane?

Now you all have probably seen the Top Gear episode where Jeremy Clarkson races against his colleagues from Surrey in England to Monte Carlo. Jeremy drives an Aston Martin DB9, whereas his friends Richard Hammond and James May take the TGV (200mph train). And he beats them.

In this episode though, he's going to take a Ferrari Scaletti 612 (yes, the blue car here), and race the other two from Surrey to Verbier in Switzerland. And they are flying in a jet aircraft.

P.S. You folks in India will hate me, but I found out that if your internet access is being routed through the US, you can still watch Google video. So try to get through some way. Its worth it.
