This is an assault vehicle pure and simple. Even crazier than automatic rifles. No one NEEDS a car that does 3 times the legal speed limit. And yet libs say cool.

Motor Trend - 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Chases 200 MPH! - Ignition Episode 18
After running the GT500 through Motor Trend's testing gauntlet, including top speed pulls on the dyno, we head to Kingman, Arizona, where pro racer Randy Pobst gets behind the wheel to see if Ford's 662-HP beast can break the elusive 200 mph barrier.
Yes yes yes..OK relax. There are tons of cars out there that are capable of speeds well in excess of 100 mph. Hell my 2004 Grand Prix with the silly 3.8L engine will top out around 140 mph.
Look, if speed limits were all about safety then why does the federal government permit the manufacture of passenger autos that can easily exceed posted limits?
there are those who FEAR speed on highways. When it was announced the federal government was going to end the National 55 MPH limit, I watched a spokeswoman from some safety advocacy group advocate LOWERING speed limits to 45mph nationwide.
If people wish to avoid higher speeds, they are free to stay off the interstates and use surface roads.
