You'd have to spend some serious money to begin with in my opinion to get to 200+ MPH. I don't see a "project" car getting anywhere near 200 MPH without putting 50 K or more into it. I got on a down hill straight away in my old 1994 Volvo 940 and it just wouldn't go any faster than 135 MPH. Going down hill. And it's "made for the autobahns" and all that bullshit. You would have to have serious, serious horsepower, more than "tweaking" a car will do. From what I've heard it's hard to top 170-180 MPH in a car, you gotta have just something over the top to get 200. Like a McLaren F1 or $100,000 invested into a sports car
