Actually if you read the trivia about the movie, the truck was fitted with an upgraded CAT 1673 engine and was turbocharged to give it an extra boost. The truck was able to reach speeds of 80 mph fully loaded. The truck may not have done 95 mph in the movie, but since it was lugging an empty tanker, it's likely it could have reached that speed in real life
@@jenexxifer Just like yourself, I was pointing out that no it's not the true speed, but they sure did a great job of making it look like it was through various camera effects for its time it was awesome, and simply done to terrify the audience, and it did.
