Not to rain on NASA's parade, but when I was in highschool, I had this 1974 Lincoln Continental, primer grey, and MAN THAT THING WAS FAST!!!  In fact, one time, I made it from my place in South Philly to the Admiral Wilson Blvd in Jersey for a beer run in between the 2nd and 3rd periods of a Flyers game.

Now THAT'S fast!

This comfortably beat the previous record set by the Blackbird SR-71 spy plane which achieved Mach 3.2.

Yep, your '74 Continental was fast, and to make matters worse, I've got NASA beat by Mach 0.8 for tens-of-millions less. Yes, that Mach 4 razor sure gives a close shave!
