In theory
Theoretically , what would be the top speed of a 1,000 crank horsepower 7 speed Manual (1LE ) package Z06 ?
I have a friend with a Suzuki Hyabusa that thinks his bike is the be all and end all . I know these bikes are fast , his even more so as its been Turbo charged .
Just looking for info so i have some ammo for back up

the biggest factor on a turbo busa is someone who can get the power down without looping it / wheelspinning etc.
Impossible to say for sure without knowing the bike's specs - how much boost what tyres etc etc.
WHo cares though, he loves his fast bike, let him be happy till the day he gets smoked by someone faster.

For the Hayabusa, it depends on how much power the bike is making, but bikes are aerodynamically poor, so it takes a lot of power to achieve high speeds. They were reaching 235 mph top speed (in less than mile) about 10 years ago, Since then, the limit of power has gone from around 300 hp to 500+hp, with top speed increased to around 250 mph. With cars at high speed, there's the risk of blow over, although assuming the Z06 has enough front end downforce, this shouldn't be an issue.
As for the Z06, assuming stage 1 aero, top speed is about 195 mph with 650 hp (according to Road and Track). Top speed increases approximately with the cube root of the increase in power, so 1000 hp would translate into about 225 mph. Gearing would need to be changed, as 225 mph is redline in 6th gear, and 7th gear is too tall.
Even a stock first gen Hayabusa, making about 160 rwhp with total weight of bike and rider a bit less than 750 lbs, translates into a Z06 making 800 rwhp, with total weight of car and driver about 3750 lbs.

I know its fast just wanted to know or find out what speed the car would max out out .

In terms of power to weight ratio, that translates into a Z06 with 1500 rwhp, except, the turbo busa will be wheelie limited until around 150 mph. MotoGP bikes are around 260 to 270 hp, and limit power until around 150 mph, but they're much lighter than the Busa, which is why my guess, the Busa might be able to use most of that 300 hp at around 150 mph.
Bikes are aerodynamically poor though, so top speed will be somewhere between 240 mph and 250 mph, and reach that in not much more than 1 mile from a standing start. A 1000 hp Z06 is going to take more than double that to reach it's top speed.

An example of RX7 at 215 mph, lifting the rear enough to lose rear end traction and spin, then flip over. No sudden stop, so driver was ok, and deployed chute near the end of the video.
