Depending on the vehicle, you don't need a lot of room to get going that fast. No, your typical passenger vehicle is probably geared to not go much faster than 100mph, and a lot of cars have a rev-limiter at 115 or 120. But, for example, my Mazda CX-5--which I wouldn't call particularly powerful at "only" 225hp--can do it quite easily just on the on-ramp for the 395 express way to DC. I don't drive more than 80, usually, but, I mean, you gotta open it up at least once.
