I once did a tad over that speed (200 kph - 133 mph) in a rented 700 series BMW on the Autobahn in Germany. I wanted to see how fast the car would go with my foot to the firewall. German cars are engineered to handle that type of speed, but after a few seconds, realizing that even a small mistake would send the car, me, and my passengers airborne, I slowed down to a more manageable 140 kph (93 mph). Very much deepened my respect for the skills of professional race car drivers.
