Not that I condone exceeding the speed limit, but...

In Minneapolis, 75-85 is a day to day thing on the I-494 Raceway. Sometimes you have to nudge it past 100 to get past the slow pokes.
One thing people forget is that just because your car can go 140 does not mean your tires will go 140. The stock ES's have R rated tires, which is rated for a max of 106mph. Even at a sustained 106, I would not trust an R rated tire.
Unless you have swapped out the tires for a higher speed rating, don't take chances. A blowout at 100+mph will kill you and everyone in your car.
