I also don't think ANY car could go 200 without wind. Motors themselves have limitations. RPM's and such. It would only be able to wind so much, not infinately. Maybe the design of any car with the right application could do it yes, but not just any car.

that may be a bit technical! LOL

Actually, almost any car could go 200mph without wind resistance. The difference between different power systems would be how quickly they would get to 200mph.
Without wind, there would still be the friction between the tires and the ground. This is pretty much the only thing that would limit a vehicle from going 200mph when there is no wind resistance, but its effects could be reduced by using lower-friction tires.

Here's my reasoning:
Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 x mass (m) x velocity^2 (v^2)
One way to express the unit for power is: Joules (energy) / time
The power of a system would be the determining factor for how fast the car would get to 200mph. Theoretically any car could go 200mph without friction.
