While I've driven on the Autobahn at some fairly high speeds (lived there for a while), in the USA, the average driver is just as likely to pull out in front of you and severely impact your progress and safety. At least in Germany, most drivers are watching their mirrors and aware of the significant potential speed differences. Super high speeds in the USA is not a common experience, and the average driver just doesn't understand the consequences of that act, making it generally unsafe unless you're on a track.
Make sure your tires are rated for that speed, too.
