I don't suppose many cars could drive at their full BHP until their tank was empty, though, so it's sort of comparing apples to oranges.

I dont know about many cars, but in 1990 they ran a mostly stock Corvette ZR1 for 24 hours averaging >170MPH, setting some auto endurance records. And the car was so worn out at that point, that they continued on for almost 5 more hours
