Hmmm, as I recall from a physics class, 60 mph equals 88 feet per second. So 120 mph would be 176 feet per second.

At that speed, with a reaction time of 0.5 seconds, you would go 88 feet before even noticing a problem, like a truck pulling out from a side road. Or some other driver who does not ecpect a vehicle to be traveling that fast.

But it is fun, isn't it?

Good Luck,

Bob
