Tommy,

MPH. The thread on the GT40 website which this video was originally posted to states the speedo registers 220 MPH.

Russ,

I disagree about how fast it "looked." To me, it looked like the other cars were standing still as he went by. Drive down the road at 40 and watch the parked cars ahead on the road and watch them get closer as you pass them. It pretty much simulates what it would look like if those parked cars were doing 60 and you're doing 100. When I did that, I was surprised at how slowly it appeared I was going compared to a stationary object. The last car he passed (you can hardly make it out because the camera man was focusing on the speedo) looked like it was being sucked backwards.
