Good point.
But actually, what does it really matter? You'll never hit those kinds of speeds on a public road. The better performance stats are the 1/4 mile, 0-60, 60-0, skidpad... those kinds of real world performance capabilities.

When it comes to testing top speed, there are two types. Actual and theoritical. I know that the Saleen S7 is the fastest car ever built in the United States and theoritically can do 223mph (drag and gearing limited). The Ferrari Enzo can do 209mph at redline 6th gear. Again, that's theoritical. Gearing and drag limited, the McLaren F1 can supposedly do 231mph. The fastest production street legal car (that I could find, and again, just in theory) is the Vector Avtech.

As for actual tests... I believe the Jaguar XJ220, the McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, and Saleen S7 rate very high up there, but am not sure which is the victor.
