If the game allows it, it's not cheating. Thomas never said you couldn't use planes, he just probably assumed you wouldn't, you sly racer, you!

Trust me, you can.
Once you get further youll see that those challenges are meant to be easy.

some of the latter levels are rediculous

I thought this thread was going to discuss the moral implications of using the "Flying Cart Glitch" to reach part boxes around Showdown Town that were previously difficult to obtain. That's the only real "moral dilemma" I've encountered in the game.

As for using a plane to win a car race -- anything's fair game unless the game restricts you to a specific vehicle.

Yeah, well I don't feel completely terrible...

Don't feel bad, they want you to be clever and think outside the box.

If youre not Cheating, Youre not Trying

That's what that evil fucking Cheetah gets!

....I hate his hair too!

Yeah, Trophy Thomas is a douchebag. There's a later mission where he gives you shit, taunts you into a race, and then gives you a shitty car with inverted steering. I had to get the trophy on that mission, just to spite him.
