times in the upper speed range? 120-140 mph?
How long should it take my 180 coupe to get from 120 to 140 on a
flat road? I guess one should not expect (or even want) it to move from
120 to 140 *really* quickly. You could see it as a "safety feature"
if it took longer to get higher speeds.
Should one expect that acceleration in the upper range
will decrease as the car gets
older? When will senescence set in--even with proper maintenance?
Just some minor, and purely theoretical considerations,
thank you!

Are you talking stock or chipped?
If stock, the car will not hit 140, so it will take forever! 
For a chipped 180 to go from 120 to 140 I don't know how long it will take because I have never clocked it! I guess the next time I do it, I can always run a stop watch to let you know.
I do know it goes faster from 120 to 140 than it does from 100 to 120.
