i mean with higher HP youre typically adding weight with engine parts, turbos, coolers, etc...
i know it may not matter since its just a simple equation for fun purposes but just a thought lol

I think the best to do is to try it out and see the real result. Like I said before on my previous post: I paid a professional driver to test out my GT3 RS MK2 for absolute top speed. The car was bone stock and had only 450 hp at the engine. Indeed, the guy topped out at ~194 mph. Now, that GT3 weighed only 3022 lbs. However, I think, but I am not 100% positive, that my GT3 had a much better aerodynamic over this stock 370Z and that's why not much hp needed in order to get up there..... and it got up there pretty strong with not much struggle.
