Sounds like 4:30s to me!
You can use a calculator to get there:
gear/speed calculator
I would get under the car and actually count the revolutions myself, so that there could be no error.
That doesn't seem to be a popular way of doing it according to the kids on this forum though.
YOUR car, your choice.
Geezerdom...I've finally arrived.

This is a much better gear calculator. It account's for the transmission gearing in whatever year stang you have. Very good. According to this in 5th gear at 80mph you should be turning 3016 rpms with 245/45-17's and 4.30's.

EDIT: I forgot to say with 4.30's you'll turn 3016 at 80mph in 5th with 245/45-17's
