When the trooper asked him why he was going so fast, his response was this, "To see if my car could." He got off with a speeding ticket, instead of a reckless or careless.

So, there isn't a really good reason to go 100+, other than to see if you and your car can. Besides, you get a bit of a rush doing it.
