just eyeballing it, maybe low-to-mid 40s


tough to get something that big over 50mph; I'm speaking from experience here


and if it's combat-loaded, forget it. You'll top out around 50 if you're lucky, even with a tac idle on to rev up your RPMs.

I got a stripped-down M1A1 up to the low-60s once, but that was near-perfect conditions to do so, including knowing that the road in front of me was clear. You don't stop one of those very quickly when you're going that fast, so you have to know that the road is clear if you're going that fast.

so you have to know that the road is clear if you're going that fast.

I think that clip shows that you don't necessarily have to know the road is clear

Not a lot of abandoned sub-compacts on the range roads at Ft Hunter Liggett. I was more worried about a BFV being out there in the way.

Not much fun running into a Bradly at that speed, or an AAV-7

Hmm.
There may be a game in this.  Perhaps adapting Trireme, for ramming ships, to something about ramming subcompacts?
