    Searching trebuchet launch velocities, I’m getting 30-70m/s (67-157mph, 110-250km/hr), so a decently fast car might actually have trebuchets beat here

      Cars are limited to roads, trebuchets can go as the crow flies. So unless you literally work in a straight line from your house, the trebuchet probably wins.
