Best Answer

The fastest car is faster than the fastest police helicopter. However, cars are generally limited to roads and traversible ground, whereas a helicopter can fly a straight line from point A to point B. There are several instances of criminals with fast cars who have managed to lose police helicopters in pursuit. However, they pale into insignificance against the criminals in fast cars who don't.

The physics of any rotary wing propulsion device restricts it's forward speed to around 250 mph. The fastest helicopter in the world currently is the Westland Lynx with a maximum forward speed of 249.10 mph.
