    No, terminal velocity is somewhere around 110mph I think. Unless you’re talking about sending it into space.

      To be fair, I did say “high enough.” Get it beyond the atmosphere and it’ll easily hit 420mph. Just know there won’t really be anything left for your insurance company to appraise.

        I caught that and I tried to acknowledge it. But I think the implied part was that vehicles won’t go that fast under their own power.

          Sure, that’s why what I said was funny. 😉
