As far as I know it shouldn't affect top speed (assuming that is the question). Weight will affect acceleration and therefore speed after a given amount of time or distance. An example would be 1/4 mile times at a race track. But top speed should be governed primarily by the wind resistance of the body, horsepower of the engine, and the overall gear ratio in Top Gear. Weight may affect rolling resistance slightly and therefore affect top speed but I suspect this affect would be negligible.
