I drove 150MPH yesterday on a long stretch of road that dipped a little, and I can tell you that even in a sports car - it was scary. There's so many things that can affect you at those speeds:

1) Hit a deer - oh dear you're dead
2) hit a bump on the road the wrong way - you'll fly and die
3) take a curve the wrong way - you'll flip and burn
4) night time driving - things will be flying toward you twice as fast, but with 1/4 the warning distance meaning your reaction time is reduced to 1/8th.

There was just no room for error at all. 100MPH on the other hand is entirely reasonable IMO, based on my experience.
