There was a large-format comic from DC comics in the mid 70's that was based on the question of whether the Flash or Superman was faster. If I remember correctly, two aliens made a wager and somehow forced Sup and Flash to run (and running only) around the earth.

It was a tie, but they arranged it that way. Both thought they could have beaten the other if they'd tried.
Holy Wonder Twins Power Batman! I think I saw this episode on Satruday morning cartoons. Scary.

Did he also happen to have a needle and scisors from Krypton with him as well? Since the clothes were impenetrable, she wouldn't be able to make the costume using ordinary Earth tools,
now would she?

Yep!! And remember: Spiderman kicked Superman's ass in one of the great city-block-destroying battles in Marvel comics history!

I'm not entirely sure about the answer to the original question. ALL I know is that when I was 4 I put on a superman costume and a pair of six shooters in hopes of flying and saving the world and I was let down. BIG TIME. IMO it can't be the suit.

Superman may travel faster but I suspect his reaction speeds are slower. Therefore the Flash makes for a better ProSolo driver...

To slightly change the thread topic, a trivia question:

Which one of the two can catch bullets and why? There is a documented correct answer, too (see Stan Lee's Origins series)
