I can't confirm for sure, since I only got up to about 90, but extrapolating the RPM at 90mph, it's somewhere around 100 +/- 5 mph.
FYI, you can still downshift from 4 to 3 (and from D to D3) at 80mph.

gogozy- Although you can run up to redline in any gear before upshifting, you cannot downshift to that gear if the RPM (in that gear) would be higher than a much lower RPM than redline. (Did that make sense?) I don't know what the RPM limit is for downshifting, but I know it's not redline.
Take 1st gear, for instance. The maximum speed you can downshift to 1st gear is 30mph/48kph, but you can go much faster in 1st gear by itself before you shift to 2nd.
I haven't tried this yet, but I wonder if you can downshift into D3 at higher RPM than 4 --> 3, then quickly move the shifter over to SS mode...
