work it out in your car 120kmh in 5th might be 3500rpm redline in 1st lets you do 55kmh.. to do 100-120 kmh in 1st you'd need to pull 12,000rpm or more.. so they car slams the vavles until the break, the rods break, the pistons crack and the car over 1-2 seconds drops back onto the rev counter.
I can say I have hit 3rd instead of 5th down the strip, but I knew I had before my foot was off the clutch. I think the needle just passed 10,000rpm before I had my foot back on the clutch..
