I had much the same feeling when I was stopped in my '85 - my wife and I both asked the trooper several times "We were going how fast?" We couldn't believe Butternut got up to that speed in the relatively short time it had been since we pulled off from a stoplight...

  My dad jokes that the van's acceleration should be measured in furlongs per fortnight...
