Race: car vs. jet

How about a 2 mile race of a VW (Bugatti) vs. RAF fighter ?

car: 1 mile straight, turn around and back
jet: take off, 1 mile straight up, turn down and back to finish line

If you're asking what 911 I have, then an 06 C2S. If your asking which 911 would be embarrased by the outcome, then all of them.

Could have been an even bigger lead by the Euro Fighter considering he is limited to sub-sonic speed. (approx 660MPH at sea level)

I don't get it the VW (Bugatti) top speed is 250 mph, why the Top Gear guy only doing 190 mph?
Cool video.

It takes a lot more than a mile to get to 250 mph.
