I believe Chryslers Super B could reach 200 MPH, but that was only on a track & with non-stock rear end gear ratio. None of the street muscle cars could they were all geared for the ¼ mile & ½ mile.

The issue is that the overall gear ratio would not support these speeds. The engine RPM would be so high that the rods would stretch & the valves would float.
