Default 200mph saleen speedo?

This question is for all of the Saleen owners out there, I am just wondering, why does the speedometer go up to 200? I wish I could believe that the car could actually go that fast

(Don't hate me, I want to believe)

Why do most German cars have 160+ when it's limited to 155?

my car is preaty much stock, with the exception of a cai, tune and slp axle back, and with the power i have on a long straight road i pinned my spedo well below the 240 km/ph (150mph). so i have no problem beliving with the extra power they have that on a long enough road they can reach speeds of 200

It looks pretty sweet though. I wish it was a simple plug and play with our cars because my stang goes past the speed markers on the speedo already.

well im sure some suspension, brakes and stablizer bars could fix that issue..
