200 mph is fast. I have buddies that go over 180 mph in the quarter mile! From a standing stop in less then 8 seconds they are going over 180 mph. With a gear change they could do 200 in about 9-10 seconds from a standing stop.
I would have to say the more power you have, the safer it gets. You spend far less time at dangerous speeds. For instance. My Chevelle will do say 150 mph in about 10 seconds if I want. My Audi A6 took me over a mile to hit 130 mph. To me this was much more dangerous. I was traveling very fast for a very long time.
I saw a video of a new vette that went 200 mph, I think it took him about 3 miles, most of the time was spent at speeds over 150 mph.
All I am pointing out is that I feel it is much safer to go 200 mph is a VERY powerful car rather then a low powered car that could potentially take up to 10 times longer to get there.
Make sense? I typed this very quickly!! About 200 mph!
