Really. I hope you have one hell of a mod list. Are our gears even good for those kinds of speeds?

I have never driven an FD even close to 150 so I have no clue at how stable it is at these speeds. This is why I was asking these questions.
I know 200+ can be reached on a public road. The key is having the right road, car, and time of day.
Car: Give me a car that is stable over 200 and reaches 200 quickly. The quicker it is reached the less time that is spent at high speed. 140 itself is quick and you still have a ways to go till 200 so the quicker you can get there the better. Also the quicker you can get back down to a normal speed the better, so big brakes.
Road: Paved within the last decade. 4 lanes. Straight as an arrow for at least a mile(inbetween exits). Even the slightest turn will cause you to run out of road. Slight decline in grade.
Time: Middle of the night(not a car in sight).
It can be done.
