I have my GPS set to alarm if I hit 90 and it's constantly reminding me. To date - 125 top speed. During hard acceleration it first shifted to 7th gear at 120. Very stable at 125 and felt like maybe 80-90 in my other cars..the neighbors got after me for speeding through the community...just kidding.

Yes, the 370 really is a dream to drive in the low 100s. It's extremely stable aerodynamically at speed, and the steering response is great. No problem dropping down from 7 to 5 (or even 4 if under 120) and getting great acceleration in that range too. Again, I just wish there was an 8 (or that 7 was taller) to keep the revs lower when cruising at speed.

Edit: ... on the high-speed closed track course I use regularly
