Very true. Also, even without a limiter, it takes 500hp or more to go 200mph in most cars. This isnt very common in europe.

@dnocturn84 Hi. I will adress the points you made in the order you made them. It does take about 500hp or so give or take for most cars that are likely to have that level of power. A far less powerful car cant do it, because of the power it takes to overcome the rolling friction and aerodynamic drag that speed generates. Most cars that feature that level of power also have the gearing to go above 200mph wihout hitting any rev limiter. Any modern car with 200mph top speed from factory feature brakes and chassis capable of doing so, though this is irrelevant to the statement posed. Conclusion: Effectively its almost exclusively a question of having enough power, which so happens to be about 500hp or a bit more for most medium sized cars. As was stated in my first post. If you still doubt it, you can look up the formulas for calculating the power requirement for the top speed of a vehicle to a very close approximation yourself, the formula can be found by google search without much trouble. The gearing question is also easily verified by googling the drivetrain data of cars that feature said 500hp or above, there arent that many in the european market. Cheers mate.
