If you put two planks of wood together and said it was a computer, this guy would believe it!

Common sense would dictate that any long stretch of road, especially a highway/freeway, lack of traffic and pretty much any modern car would be capable of reaching those speeds.

I've heard stories from mates of mine who have thrashed hire cars whilst on work or holidays and from what they have told me even the smaller hatches are capable of these speeds, they just need a much longer run way to achieve them.

tl:dr version, limit the size of the engine or engine output and the same idiots will just need a longer bit of road to achieve those speeds.
