Realistic top speed and acceleration figures

I don't know about the rest of you but considering it's supposed to be a realistic driving simulator and the statistics for car performance are freely available on the web (let alone from the manufacturers themselves) then why do we end up with cars in GT that are able to do 270mph+ in stock form?

If I bought a Veyron, kept it stock and took it to the test track/SSRX then I want it to hit the limiter at 253mph not carry on going to whatever after that.

Similarly with German cars I'd want them to hit a realistic limiter (officially they can hit 155mph and no more but these limiters are always soft and let you keep going a bit more).

Realistic changes to top speed and acceleration when the car is modified and the gearing is changed would be helpful too.

It's only a small thing but it annoys me seeing videos on Youtube of cars hitting 500mph and so on.
 
Hitting accurate top speeds isn't as straight forward as you might think. You could hard code numbers in, but that would actually be worse than what we have now. That said, GT6's revised aero model should have made this a much smaller issue.
