Lmao ain't no commercial car in existence that can go 420mph. Cop saved you a ticket if you're not an idiot about things.

I would expect that any commercial car can go 420mph if you drop it from high enough.

No, terminal velocity is somewhere around 110mph I think. Unless you're talking about sending it into space.

Edit: yes I have read more about this since making the comment. Big thanks to a mediocre education decades ago for what I thought I knew.

Terminal velocity depends on the drag profile and weight of an object. So it actually depends what shape the vehicle is and it's mass.
