Most of the cars I have owned shuddered somewhere between 90 and 100, except for the Caddy.

I've done 145+ in my 300ZX and 140+ in my G35 (I stopped looking at the speedo once I hit those speeds and kept track of how much space I had on the runway). The cars kept gaining speed and were stable but I was getting a bit nervous at those speeds and shutdown shortly after.

Only one with a childish mind would wish to find out, unless you are at the salt flats or another legal place to test your speed. There are safe places to test such things, and the highways are not that place...
