People at Audi, Red Bull and the Navy were bored. Having been in the Navy I can see it now "Lease the Midway For a Day program!"

And what is so special about this video. Any super car can go faster then a single engine airplane. The Audi would surprise me if this car could go faster than a jet engine airplane.

Actually, from a stop, a prop job can accelerate faster than a jet, depends on the type of aircraft. The turbines take a longer time to spool up than a gas powered prop plane. The advantage of a jet is that it can keep producing high amounts of thrust at higher airspeeds.
But yes, I agree that this video is pretty worthless. The "Oh Cool!" factor of an airplane vs. a car just isn't there anymore; its been done so many times.
