HUH

What are you jibbering about?

If you have 300hp you should be able to take that formula. What have you done to your car? A little more information and we could help make your car faster.

The formula is going to have better gearing from around 80 or so on up because of the 6spd. But with enough hp and a lighter car you can dust him. With 3.73's and a T-5 you should see 90mph @ 3k rpm, 120mph @ 4k, 150 @ 5k, 180 @ 6k in 5th gear. This numbers are a bit optimistic since they don't factor in aerodynamics, but close non the less.

Give us some info so you can dust that formula, or kill yourself.

No really... you're kidding right?

I'm struggling with the logic. You want to modify your mustang to go 180Mph so that you can beat a guy who is too cocky? Keep the pony in one piece PLEASE and steal his girlfriend instead or something!
