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.)

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