Very few cars can exceed the 200 mph mark. Other than power and gearing vs drag, there's just a ton of extra engineering that needs to go into making sure the whole car doesn't start tearing itself to pieces/doesn't lose traction/can actually come to a stop.

An unlimited GT-R could probably manage to make it to something approaching that number, depending on gearing -- I'm sure someone has top unlimited speed data somewhere on the internet.
