US speed limits are highly variables, they’re generally 55 in the north-east but on the western half they’re 65 to 70, and 75 in TX.
And that assumes the speed limits are respected at all, but the EU has required a hard 90kph limiter since 2005, tampering with the limiter is a criminal offense, so is tampering with the (also mandatory) tachograph which would reveal the first.
So while nothing prevents speeding up to that (and it very much happens) going higher becomes extremely dicey.
