I bet that even people in countries with no speed limit on public roads like german autobahns rarely drive >200 on regular basis. Once to get a feel? Sure. Every day for hours at top speed?
I realize that I will probably never actually evem reach over 120mph but it's something that I would take great pleasure in knowing "hey, my car CAN do that", ya know?
