It was called the "Quest for 2oo mph" or some such silliness. Basically they took the three cars our on the track and tested the top speed I can't remember what the overall winner was, but the Ford ended up the value winner at 200.3 mph for just under 160K. The other two were in the 207-212 range for much more $$$. If you're looking for the easiest way to 200 mph, you might look into the Ford. If you're looking for the cheapest way to have the wind rushing through your locks at over 200 mph, look into open cockpit biplane rides. Well under $160K, but also much higher off the ground.
Regarding Occhi's comment regarding the high end Mercedes, I'd say skip it and go for the Porsche if you want German speed on German roads. I'm not sure what the SLR McLaren gets up to, but its probably the only thing close.

Biplane?
What an idea! I could be the Dread Baron!
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
