Yes. It will be about that. You still have no comprehension of quite how 
hard accelerating a 7 sec 180 mph car is have you?

It gets to 180+ in 7.

Limited by grip alone so its rate of acc along the strip is far more 
constant than a gutless roadcar that can only acc at first few yards. It 
gains roughly the same mph per sec at the start as it does at the finish. 
The limiting factor is grip. Even at the 440 yard point. It uses more
boost 
and more nitrous as speed increases to achieve this. So divide the 187 or 
whatever it is by 3. Thats 60mph stages. Divide the 7 secs by 3...

Now you see that its doing its constant g force all the way so the last 
60mph happens as fast as the first only faster because the car has more 
downforce/boost/grip...
