Why Are Many Sports Cars Electronically Speed Limited?

[Kinks]

But the GTR is speed limited to 180km/h aswell.

Oops my bad, of course they are. I remember a mate being chased down by a semi in his 33 GTR and starting to poop himself because he was on the limiter and the semi was on his bumper

A semi doing 180!!! Fark that!!

most new cars are speed limited towards the aero and handling issue. (safety wise, i dont think its very safe doing speeds past 200kmph road or track) at high speed u have such a high drag force which creates lift ,thus resulting , as most of us here experience one time or another where it feel's like we have no steering

p.s most of our tyres are actually speed rated with either V or W meaning they are rated to speed up to 240km/h or 270km/h receptively. i wouldnt want to test it though.
