First off, it is not a motor, it is an engine. Of course the engine effects speed. It takes horsepower and torque to move a vehicle. The power of the engine determines how fast the car will go. The gear ratio of the transmission and the differential also determine the speed.

What is the top speeds for a muscle car?

It depends on the car and the equipment used to drive it. Most muscle cars lack a governor or a speed-control device, which allows the car to reach its max speed potential. The typical top speed of a muscle car during their prime era, was around 130-135mph. This is all the engine could push the car with the stock transmission without over-revving and damaging the motor. The cars were not meant for top speed as much as they were made for quickness and throttle response.
