What kind of nonsense is this? Of course power has everything to do with top speed. As the car goes faster the aerodynamic load increases to where the horsepower limit is reached and balanced by the load. What speed that occurs has nothing to do with RPM, unless the RPM is limited before the peak power occurs.
