Question 928 Top Speeds? Auto & Man

I'm curious to know what the maximum speed is on 928s by the final drive ratio, or how fast the gears will let it run to till' the motor redlines in top gear.

I know this is off subject for this topic but I didn't want to post another topic. This is a strange question, but how much horse power is needed to take off a tenth of a second off your i.e. 0-60 time, or anything similar to that? Question may not make any sense but, i'm just curious.
Thanks,
Cory

It is worth knowing too that 100 lbs is worth .10 seconds.

Less weight is 'free' horsepower; and best of all, it never needs a tune-up!
