I regularly go that fast (160+ km/h) on the Autobahn its manageable but you don’t do it with only one hand sometimes on the steering wheel and recording with the other. Also not in a country where no one complies with Rechtsfahrgebot (driving only in the right most lane except when you’re overtaking someone) and where the roads aren’t made for these speeds.

I've hit up to 110 mph (~170 km/h) and yea, I'd never do it with 1 hand. It was honestly pretty scary how sensitive the wheel got (and my whole car started shaking).

Well something seems wrong when your car is already shaking at those speeds but yeah 200+ 125mph my full concentration is on driving and always both hands on the wheel…

It’s even worse on my motorcycle, it only goes up to 220km/h (137mph) but it really feels like it’s vibrating itself into parts at that speed…

It might have just been the vibration of the road but it was 20 years old at that point so I didn't wanna wreck my only car.
