At 180 MPH you're covering 264 feet per second. The average city block is only 320 ft. long

If I don't kill myself and everyone else in my car, what if I injure some innocent bystander? I don't think I could come back from that. I think I'll just keep it below getting myself killed speed.

No doubt. Once you hit 100-110 even if pulling you arent pulling hard.
That hold you back in the seat gforce is the shit. Thats why I want to build a car for the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge one day. Autocross, 0-60-0 mph challenge, 1/4 mile. All around fun. |

I've seen all kinds of people post a 3.9 time for their 0-60 time. I think it will accelerate fast enough.

I'll take acceleration over top speed all day too. I'd much rather put my foot in it for accelerating rather than fly down the freeway hoping not to get a ticket. Wife says I should change my 4:10 gears back to 3:55, but to me without huge horsepower in my Stang (360), the bigger gears are the best part of the car for awesome acceleration.

My wrx puts down about 280 with the stage 1 tune and an exhaust. Pushing about 19psi. It just fast enough to have fun in, and be able to daily it as well. |

I would think swapping the gears back to the 3:55, which I do have, would maybe only change my gas mileage 1-2 MPG? Not sure all the money to do that would be really worth it. I like the WRX a lot and I thought I'd probably go that route before I got a chance to buy the Mustang. I personally never thought I'd own an American car. lol. Great ride you have.
