I personally will never not trust my gut feeling.

I once was young and stupid and maxed out the speedometer of my car on a empty highway at the middle of the night. Now I can say I've done it and don't need to do that again. Normally I hardly even drive above the speedlimit.

I was barely able to reach 200kph

I got up that high on a race track once. It was one of those "drive a nascar" experience things. They used older models but they would still move. I couldn't get up any higher than that because it was only a 3/4 mile oval. By the time I was accelerating on the straightaway, it was time to decelerate for the turns.

On public roads, I have done 180 kph in Germany (and still got passed).

I did almost 200 in my first Autobahn driving lesson and did 230 at some point after getting the license. No I think it’s stupid Germany allows those speeds. IMHO it should be capped at 120 on all public roads. Crazy what lack of rules, young people and overpowered cars can cause

It was way above my comfort level. The ride itself was smooth due to me driving a big saloon but it also felt like I was about to take off at the slightest bump
