I owned Hayabusas; yes we nitwits will push such a machine to its limit. You have to make sure the advertising is not false.I would not doubt it, for several reasons. One, Lawyers. Cars that go 200 MPH make them very very nervous because some nit-wit just might try to do it. Two, the number of places that you can actually get anywhere close to that kind of speed is very short. Most road courses can't support anywhere near that. And if you do it on a public highway, you are an idiot. Lastly, as noted above all that aero puts a big drag on it at speed. Even the ZR1 with the big wing can only do a bit over 190 flat out (212 with the small wing). My ZL1 is rated for 198, but it drops to mid 170s with the big wing 1LE package. And again what's the point? Places where you can (safely) do that kind of speed are very few and far between.
Then you modify it to go faster. This is coded into our DNA as speed freaks.
