I think you'll find the speed is limited by the tyres. Usually no more
than 40mph.

Drag racers often exceed 200MPH.

On slick tires.

I thought the topic was pickup trucks?
If you want to go off topic the world speed record is faster than

the road from me, I saw it a few months back.

I hear some Yank is trying build a car to do 800mph.

That's OK. We have a 1000 mph project in hand.

You're old & therefore expendable, right?
