The freeways in CA are pretty terrible and jittery though too.
What top speed should I expect in my car?

My First mercedes was a 280SE which was 4 years old when i got it.I was picked up on radar at 125MPH and it wasn't working hard . I drove it at those speeds all the time in those days because it was built to do it and I did it.
I've had my 6.3 flat to the floor a couple of years ago for 2 hours (130-140MPH) when I was rushing to meet a boat ,again the cars were meant to drive at those speeds.
In both cases the cars were easy to drive that fast and in the second case I had never driven on those roads before.
If your car feels unstable at high speeds there is problems with the suspension.
