Not quite true, as the drag coefficient of the object has to be taken into account. Its more related to the "affected surface area" than cross sectional area.
( Part of one of my final year projects involved measuring airflow through radiators :-( )
That said, a house going down the straight alongside an F1 car at 300kph, would probably generate a tad more drag :-)
Probably more exciting to watch the house
