FWIW, I beat a single-engine plane a little bit faster than a Cessna 172 from NJ to FL in my VW GTI about 35 years ago. No traffic on I-95, but lots of thunderstorms and IFR for the plane to circumnavigate. Plus, I was carrying a week's worth of luggage for the four people in the plane as ballast in my car.....
