I dont see mass in the equation Torque x RPM / 5250.

Regarding lateral acceleration and top speed, Increased mass will ONLY make it take longer to get there. What we're concerned with is the point that the force of wind resistance equals the force the engine can supply - this does not change with mass.
What I was trying to say

Not to nitpick, just noticed this after I'd already clicked reply, but it's 5252, not 5250... right?
