Some coarse calculations, assuming Mach 5.5
~770 mph
~212 miles traveled in 3 seconds....
That gets me from my house in SE Michigan to Chicago.

I suggest you redo your calculations.
I assume that Mach5 is faster than 770mph
and since an hour has 3600 seconds, this does not correlate to
212 miles in 3 seconds.
Mach 5 is about 3800 mph. I would round that to 1 mile a second =>
3 miles in 3 seconds.

It was a set-up. Profiling. The cops were stopping everyone driving on that sidewalk.

Typo, right? 200 miles or so in 3 minutes, not 3 seconds. Mach 5 is maybe 4000 mph or so and for 3 minutes was the time of flight (200 seconds actually) we get about 1/20 of that distance so 200 or so miles. Anyway, it would make for a quick flight to NY.

So, I'm guessing that car does NOT have California emissions?
