Is that all? You'd need to know a few other things, like the weight of the car in question and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road. If you have that info, it's quite simple, all you'll need is a good force-vector diagram, some math, and you can figure it out pretty easily. It's just basic physics.
EDIT: Actually, it might be a tad more complicated since you're trying to find velocity...hmm...
