At high speeds, handling is well beyond just the suspension. You need the aerodynamics to make the car stable. I am not talking about a full pro-mod body, but a front air dam, the right rake, a proper spoiler and perhaps work under the car.
I think the philosophy here is "if you are going to do it, do it right" therefore make the car stable as you possibly can at 200mph, instead of just making it barely able to reach 200.
I know for a fact that 1000 hp can get you to 200, but if the car is producing more lift at the front than downforce, your steering control will be extremely limited (think slushy roads) and your upgraded shocks will be useless because you will not be able to controll your car very well. This is avoided by aerodynamics, specifically downforce (air dam).
