er.. I don't think so. Ain't no Ford or anything since a 2 speed
Powerglide 2.56:1 geared hot rod chevy that can go that fast in first (at
least nothing licensed for the street). I know I can put my Impala in "1st"
and it will do 80 or so, but I'm quite aware that it upshifts to 2nd when it
hits the redline in 1st gear, regardless of what the lever is stuck in. At
least until someone reprograms the pcm to not do that ;-)
