What is the terminal velocity of a car?

Assuming atmospheric conditions density of air being 0.0765 pounds/cu. ft. and assuming the car weighs 4000 lbs with dimensions of 6'x15'x5', with a drag coefficient of approximately 0.2...

The terminal velocity of a car under these conditions would be about 52 mph. This is assuming it's falling flat. If the car was falling pointing down, the terminal velocity would be something more like 90mph. Obviously this answer will vary by changing the assumptions.

Doubtful

That's believable. I think yours is limited right around 120-125? All these guys talking about going 140+ in random little 4 cylinder econoboxes have shit for brains.

Don't quote me on this, but I thought I read somewhere that one generation accord could actually hit 146 or something. I think most civics will do 130 something. It'll take forever and a half to get there though lol
