I do not see why people love to say that "driving is a privilege, not a right." It really does not matter either way. Abuse either and you can lose it. It is not as if it were an actual right it couldn't be revoked. Look at your second amendment, the right to bear arms, there are situations and places that you lose that right, but you don't hear anyone saying the second amendment is a privilege not a right.
Regardless, if the conditions permit (abandoned area of highway or roadway) and you can safely go 150+ mph then it is all within the spirit of the law to speed. The law is there to keep people safe. If there is no-one around no matter how fast you go "people" are safe.
the only remaining argument would be whether you are safe driving that fast and while in the past it would have been a non issue, nowadays the government likes to regulate everything case in point, the seat belt law...
