... discounting wind resistance

google calculator says 109.09

but was the car moving or the earth?

[markmdz89hatch]

seriously, only 110 mph from 400ft fall ?

That should make any of us think twice, nay 3 or 4 times, about doing stupid shit in our cars (or any car for that matter) at high speeds. Not saying "don't drive fast" but more-so, don't drive fast and stupid. Racing on the streets (imo) = pretty stupid (in most cases).

less than 110 due to wind resistance

just don't jump anything and fall 400 feet straight down. a volvo would have looked like that if they dropped it. normally in a crash energy is absorbed by the other object and dissapated in other ways,this was a dive right into the ground. i've seen cars dropped from cranes before without this much damage, i suspect they did some cutting on the cars to make the crashes more spectacular. remember jamie and Adam are special effects specialists, they know how to make destruction better for tv
