Are you including meal stops? .... You could drive from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach in six hours.

We're only an hour outside of ATL 
5hrs 11mins from door to door according to Google.
But yes, we usually stop to use the roadside ablusions or a quick MCD rest stop. By the time we get onto the main road into MB (501), we're usually very ready to get out of the car.

I now have the route broken down now into four x 2-2½hr legs, with stops for breakfast, lunch, cheaper gas before crossing into Florida, and dinner, though it's been a couple of years since we last did that, and it won't be at least before 2021 that we'd do it again.

From the centre of Mount Pleasant to Tryon, NC which is more or less where the mountains start, the route is almost entirely interstate and would take about 3½ hours, which I think is a journey that some Americans would take for a day trip - set out at 7am, drive for an hour or so, breakfast at Waffle House, continue the journey and arrive in the mountains around 11am-12 noon. Then spend a few hours hiking or hanging out, set out to return around 4pm, dinner at Applebee's on the way back, and arrive home around 9pm. 
I understand, having driven to Orlando three times.
