That's just it, they aren't supposed to be able to.
They're V-6 diesels.
Military vehicles are designed for a top speed of 55.
That, however, doesn't necessarily mean they can't go faster.
Some of our state troopers here in NY are also MP's in the National Guard.
Had at least one instance of oen of our soldiers running into an MP that he knew from being pulled over in civilian life when said MP was in his civilian role as state trooper.
*snort*
I suspect the trooper and his side seater had an idea that we were clueless about our speed.
The humvee we were using for that actually had rather good acceleration for a diesel.
Surprised more than a few drivers who were just getting used to driving one of those beasts.
You get inside it, and the first ting you notice is that the steering wheel is remarkable thin.
It's thinner than a civilian vehicle's steering wheel and is hard to get used to, especially since it's somewhat hard to hold onto at times.

V-6 anything doing 90 surprises me. LOL! I want the "grunt" of 8 cylinders .... or more.

Sounds like maybe the trooper that pulled up beside y'all has maybe been in (or is in now) the National Guard himself, and knows about Humvees. hehe!

I'll be back in a bit. Supper time.
