I'll have my Valentine One Radar to better my chances but realize much of that route is patrolled by the air.

Microsoft Maps says 12 hours 45 minutes each way.
EDITED:
I pulled that route + some, 1540 miles in 19.5 hours (in the x5) straight including stops and 1 hour of non sleep. Crossed AZ entirely at night. You are going to need to hold triple digits + whenver possible. How tall are the gears in the monster!!

Are you serious about the air patrol?

You should be right about there. 22.5 hours inclusive road time. Remember, travelling at 75-80 mph only advances you about 55-60 actual ground miles. 115 only good for about 85 ground miles. (at least in my experience)



EDIT: You aren't driving straight through. 2 seperate legs, DOH!! 21 hours flat! and that's a final offer.
