this depends on how you test it. if you have the EXACT same gearing (1st-5th, FD, and rear gear), and drag is NOT a part of the equation, then both cars will top out at the exact same MPH. this would apply to say, a car on a dyno.

once you factor in drag, hp/tq matter. i.e salt flats, LONG ass straight away, etc.
