I built a small scale wind tunnel using a house fan, its max speed is about 20-25 mph. But you probably need something with some more power.
that means you need a couple more fans. but lotsa small fans will proly not make a smooth flow. itll have so much turbulence. cheapest way is prolly

Well you can do what the guys from spaceship one did and mount the thing onto the front of a suv.
except we all know suvs have bad aerodynamics so you want a loooong pole or sumthing to keep it away from the car or. get a ferrari or sumthing
