You could always do like the cars at the speed trials on the Bonneville Salt Flats! The transmissions are geared so steep in those cars they need a push up to about 100 mph before they can put them in gear! I would expect with a fairly strong engine and a tranny like these cars you could probably do 200+.
A lot of these cars are very inexpensive that the drivers and crew maybe have a total of $20,000 invested in them.
