I drive at least 200 km/h (125mph) every day in my RX8 and I've never had a problem with the car.
The other night I drove back from Zurich and I did not drop below 220 km/h (137 mph) for 45 minutes.

If you're going to be traveling faster than 90mph please DON'T roll down the windows or open the sunroof. The vacuum pressure created will make it impossible for you to breathe and you will die instantly. Happened to a buddy of mine

driver passes out. no pressure on the accelerator. car slows down. car would fill back with air.
and this is absolute bullshit btw. jedi54 closed his sunroof at 110mph. which means he had it open. the only thing that happened was he broke his sunroof. he didnt die.

You must manually equalize the external pressure with the internal pressure at 1.5 atm per minute, by throttling the a/c recirc controls. Failure to account for this may result in a barotrauma and possible space/time exception.

I can top that.
A friend of a friend was driving his RX8 all day, starting from the desert in Utah up into the mountains of Colorado. He hadn't stopped for gas or lunch or anything all day.
He unrolled his windows while at the top of a mountain in Colorado.
Bad idea. The difference in air pressure between the inside of his car and the low-density air outside caused his head to explode.
