The guy that posted it on the EvoM forums said he was at roughly 170mph when the impact occurred

Why is that so hard to believe? If you search for the Proving Grounds post here there are a couple of 200+mph Evo's in that video alone. There are several others out there. With a bigger turbo and corresponding mods 180 is fairly common on the cars as aerodynamically its been tested to I believe it was 212mph before drag stopped her in her tracks.

170MPH is weaksauce. Supra/3S/NSX (Jap cars of the 90s) went 160MPH+ with 250WHP+ bone stock.

Tires are an issue if you sustain heavy speeds for a duration of time.

Stock speedos are not very accurate either.
