The bullet is a lot more than 10x as fast... muzzle velocities can easily be 1K to 3K ft/sec... which translates to about 700 to 2100 miles per hour.
The car & truck were traveling at about the same speed so the speed differential between the car & piece of wood probably wasn't that great.
Don't forget, an auto windshield is more designed to not send glass flying than it is to stop something.
