It is better to say either

'How fast was the car going?' or

'What speed was the car doing?'

Yes, sentence #2 is wrong. I missed it. Sentence #5 is OK. Please refer to Rover_KE's post #9.

Okay, so we can say "what speed 'are you doing' or 'is the car doing' at the moment?" Or "How fast 'are we going' or 'is the car going' at the moment?" Is it correct?

I don't understand why you keep repeating your questions in a thread after getting clear and definitive answers.
This is a regular pattern for you, tufguy, and it's high time you stopped!

I strongly recommend that you limit yourself to a maximum of two or three questions per day, and that you read and study our replies carefully to learn from them.

I am closing this thread.
