Sounds cool. With a little math I'm sure we could figure this one out.
That one entirely depends on the road. At best, the Cobra is going to be around a mile ahead by the end of the minute, which would require a dead straight road, in which case, he would still be very much in view.

I think we can probably put that one down as "myth".
