Well, to the outside world the car would still be moving at 75mph for a little bit. The car will be moving at 65mph when the car is stopped too. Hell, from the right frame of reference, its also going over 1000 miles an hour. Or even ~6,800 mph.

On thing is for certain, it would not go 140mph (75mph + 65mph) when it hit the ramps.
