I'm going to err on the side of caution and say you are being sarcastic. Because i don't believe anyone can be that ignorant.
I don't see the reason to put so much misinformation out there for any reason. Someone who truly doesn't know is going to come along and read it and take it as truth.
Let me restate it. There are 3 main things a car must have to reach a specific speed.
If you don't have at least those 3 requirements met then it simply will not reach a given speed.
Why am I so insistent? Earlier it was stated in this thread that a 50hp engine could power the car to the same top speed as a 500hp car. If you take the new Z06 which is a near 200mph capable car and take its 500hp engine out then drop a 50hp engine into the car then its simply NOT going to reach anywhere near 200mph. It is impossible, 50hp is simply not enough. If you are lucky you'll get it near 70 or 80mph, but I don't believe its going to be capable of even 100.

Let me restate it. There are 3 main things a car must have to reach a specific speed.
- It has to has to be as aerodynamic as possible, the more efficent the design the less power it takes to reach a given speed.
- It must have the power to overcome the aerodynamic drag at the specified speed.
- And finally it must be geared correctly so that at the specified speed the engine is generating the required power output.
