FYI, by "faster" I believe xviper means top speed faster, not acceleration faster.
Correct! When I speak in terms of acceleration, I prefer to use the word "quicker".

5th gear at 8000rpm is 126.2mph. (Discounting tire flex.)
Try it yourself:

Nah, rev limiter in 5th gear on an AP2 is just getting started. As Elistan pointed out, it's only 126mph.
