a question of handoff/handshake speeds...

what if you had two APs separated by a mile of road...
The two APs have yagi antennas pointed at each other,
They have a clear line of sight,
they are running on different channels.
No encryption.  No negative radio interference.

A person in a car with appropriate wifi gear is listening to a streaming
internet radio station at point A.
He leaves point A for point B at 65 mph.
As his card transitions from one AP to the next, will he experience a
distracting interruption in his internet radio stream?

I am hoping that most wifi cards have a mode where they will automatically
connect to the AP with the strongest signal.  I just wonder how fast a
handoff can be made.

All thoughts on the issue are welcome :-)

thanks
Chris White
