How fast was this car going before the impact?

14,000 feet drop with no parachute. It amazed me that it flipped end over end so many times. I would have thought the engine end would have stayed in the earth bound direction.

Ouch! Dont know how fast but Im sure there is a terminal velocity for it.

Well THAT was a wast of a minute and a half.

(Couldn't they have shown more of the after effects?)

14,000 ft and it took approximately 71 seconds to hit the ground

14,000/71 * .682 = 134.5 mph ish maybe a little faster since it would take it a few seconds to reach terminal velocity, I'd say no more than 140 mph or so.

You are one math wizard. Thanks.
