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.

But - Some guido and his 3 mates will look like absolute tools trying to rev the guts out of a Getz at 3am trying to get to 180km/h and probably wont bother. =)
Makes me sick though, specifically to the P Platers doing this in WRX's getting media attention - most of us had to earn ours and treat them with respect, its a shame when the minority ruin it for the majority.
