“That is the easy part.”

Easy? Roads in the US, to include freeways, are not designed for those speeds. There are on ramps, towns, curves, mountains, that extreme speeds could not be maintained. There is a chance of driving that fast for a while, but not for 2600 miles.

For the driver to blaze through a small town in the sticks with a speed limit of 25, and not have the cop with the mirrored glass on both sides not call him boy and put him in with Bubba for a while, is a lot more realistic. Makes good ink.

He did not go through small towns.

100 on the interstate in my 2016 Mustang GT was very comfortable. I am not arguing that he did it, only that it is possible.

Interstates were designed for the 1955 Ford sedan, not for a performance Mustang GT.
