I do, however, know that a racer I know hit 190+ in a Lincoln Mark VIII before he ran out of track and had to brake and turn. He didn't mention any modifications, and the car's aerodynamics are fairly good for something that big, so it seems plausible.
That's not possible without serious mods. Even 600+ hp supercars don't go that fast on most tracks (very few have long enough straights). What kind of racing was this?

By the way, the list of cars that can go 190+ mph even on a long straight highway is extremely short. No stock Lincolns or Pontiacs or anything else like that is going is come close.
