As a former cop, you should know all too well that even the most piece of shit car is capable of "high speed" (i.e. 90mph+), even that truck you're talking about.

The difference is how the car gets to 90 MPH+. Some cars take an eternity to get to those speeds while others can do it under 10. Many times cars which are $hit boxes are more forgiving with poor driver inputs. Which brings up the topic of graduated licensing which has been discussed here before.
