Cars are designed to have a top speed for safety reasons. An engine can only spin at so many RPMs before things start to fly off or destroy themselves. The same holds true for the rest of the moving parts on a car. Tires can only handle so many RPMs before the rubber starts to come apart. The faster things spin the greater the centrifical force.

What gear ratio would you use to get enough torque and speed to achieve that fastest time?
The gear ratio for top gear is chosen to produce maximum speed, which occurs at a speed where the engine's maximum power is take up with maintaining a constant speed (on the level). For cars the overall ratio for top gear is 3.5 to 4.5 : 1. For example, if the engine's maximum power is 100 bhp at 6300 rpm, and that power can drive the car at the maximum speed of 110 mph, the overall ratio is chosen to give 6300 rpm at 110 mph.

It depends on the car. Some cars have a top speed of about 100 miles per hour or a little more. Most cars will have a top speed of more than 100 MPH. Some high performance cars, such as the Corvette, have a top speed of closer to 200 MPH, and some really high performance, or exotic, cars have a top speed of more than 200 MPH.
