Where the heck are you going to do 180 at? Your going to die/or be in jail, if you want to do that on the highway or street. And I know your not going to be trapping 180 in the 1/4. If your really wanting to do 180, YOU NEED a hardcore roll cage(not going to save you anyway, but...), 180 mph rated tires, brakes, etc..etc... I could go on forever. Have you seen a high speed (150+)crash? They are nasty....180 is going to be pretty hard to accomplish in your stang without ALOT of cash.

Geting your car(BTW what kind of car do you have) to do 180 will take a LOT of money. You will need a lot more HP, but before you even thing about souping up the engine you will have to do saftey stuff. At least a 8-point roll cage(like it will even help at that speed, it just make it easier to find the body), 5-point harnesses, ZR rated tires, a drive shaft loop, and of course brakes(ask some of the people here who have tried to stop from like 150 with stock brakes, they fade almost instantly), and the list goes on and on.
