Passenger cars, generally larger vehicles that can fit 4 to 6 people, have a speedometer that hits 150mph, though few try to go that fast and for good reason; steering can get touchy when at a high speed, which leads to some pretty horrible accidents, not to mention the engine could sputter out on ya. Ain't pretty, seen it happen.

However, there are cars that are built primarily for speed. They're smaller, lower to the ground, can generally only fit two people, and can reach 160mph with few problems in under 13 seconds. [that isn't including all the things one can do to modify the vehicle to give it an extra boost]
