Hi Raaaid,
what exactly is this "terminal velocity of a parachutist vs a car"? Is that the speed which when exceeded by a parachutists who is going to hit a car terminates his life?

Are you searching for the correct formulas for two cases?
1) The parachutist is falling down through the air and hits the car
2) The car is moving horizontally and hits the parachutist after he has landed

Well i have no mathematical proof but regardless friction they'll be the same.
