I have a section of road about 6-7 miles long on my commute that is cop-proof due to the geography, all forest with steep drop offs and no cop turn around areas. I have taken my 300E to 130mph for about 4-5 miles through there. Those trees just fly by! Still not the fastest I've gone. We pegged our MB rental in Germany at 155 for about 10 minutes when we were there. THAT is fast.

I agree we need higher limits. The problem is that they would have to enforce it to allow only european car drivers to go that fast. American cars just about blow apart above 75-80.
