I don't know how but if there was some formula to prove it... some how the wind interferring with both bullets are the most important part. but if some how if there was no air at all in the area its being tested yes the bullet fired from the car will go faster becuase it will have an extra 55mph with out any interferance of wind.
Almost but not quite, in real life physics this is untrue. YES the bullet fired at 55 MPH will have more wind resistance, but it will still initially be traveling faster (55MPH faster)than the bullet fired at 0 MPH. The 55MPH bullet will slow faster than the 0MPH bullet untill it reaches the same initial velocity of the 0MPH bullet. Then the 55MPH bullet will slow at the same rate as the 0MPH bullet.
