A car running out of top speed at 200mph is much more then about having a 2000hp car. Aero, and required downforce are much more of the equation, and with a car with approx 450hp should be capable of running 200mph.

Having said that, a car continuously accelerating is not what is particularly challenging, nor is it what seperates the champions from the chumps. It may be of some interest to drag racing, or salt flats racing, but it isn't what sportscar racing is about. Terminal speed is interesting, but lap speed is more important.
