VR and sense of speed?

[Five.Stars]

Hi, my Rift is pre purchased, but as someone who hasn't yet had the experience of any sort of VR, how does VR represent a sense of speed? That is one of my major gripes with playing racers, or even flight sims is that you never get a realistic representation that you are travelling sometimes at +200mph. Obviously without depth cues etc, that is understandable. Does VR solve this and give you a genuine sense that you are travelling at a substantial speed?
