Going to 180 on public roads is both dangerous and very, very stupid.
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.Why not just try to beat your friend to 100 or 110, there is no need to race to 180. What are you gonna do if your doin 180 and a car pulls out in front of you, or you blow a tire. BTW a 94 firebird formula won't do anywhere close to 180, and it takes a new Vette a LONG time to get to 180.
