I used to have a ‘93 Porsche 911 - found that it needed to stay out of top gear (which was 6th) to get much acceleration out of it above about 110 MPH. It needed to stay in 5th to achieve top speed of (I think) 158 MPH, which put the engine at red line.
I only had it to 135 MPH - and only twice. The first time, alone in the car, I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest.
The second time, I thought my wife was going to PULL it out of my chest.
Like I said, 200 MPH in any car is awesome - and not for the faint of heart or car.

The best car that I have ever drove but didn't own was a 750 BMW V-8 but I didn't drive it above 90 but I loved the acceleration on it though.
The smoothest car I drove at tripple digits was a Dodge Intrepid.
The car I currently have now does great in curves and my friend who owned the BWM and Benz said that my car does better in curves than both the BWM or Benz.
It's a once loved out of production GM sport luxury car.

My 1995 stock Mercedes sl500 will do 120 effortlessly. I’ve done that in short bursts many times. It is computer controlled to top out at 155 but they say with a new chip and a few tweaks you can get it in the 180+ range. To me it’s not worth investing the money to find out.
