I wonder what would happen if we hit OD at WOT? Would it be like pulling a trailer with a standard in overdrive and fry the clutch? (yes i know that we dont have clutches but im wondering if it had a similar effect on our verters or tranny clutches or bands.)

well, calcing from 120mph at 5000 rpms, 6000rpms would read 144mph on the speedo
(120/5000 * 6000).
