    If it took two seconds to get from one small reflective dot on the far right of roadway to the next that works out to at least 130. Maybe 150 plus. But not much more than that due to a potential Nanny or Electronic top speed limiter in those cars.

    It passed your 70 foot truck in nothing at all. A fraction of a second.

    Anything beyond 130-150 is too fast for me to measure visually by seconds.

    Trooper's Guess of 115 plus is a good one to start.

    125mph top speed? My 2006 Corolla XRS is faster than that lol.
    runs 133mph with fresh tires(radar certified, 130 mph on speedo), and before anyone complains it's legal once a year in Texas to top out your car.

    It's an 01 v6 mustang. It's got a little torque but it's got no top end.
    Once I get past into 5th gear it's basically a marshmellow....

    Every time I'm down south I keep an eye out for a 94-95gt for sale for a small build i got in my head
