I will pay you 5 million dollars if you can get to 77 mph in second gear without somehow disabling the rev limiter and getting well over 10000 rpm.

with stock gearing and stock diameter tires, you will be at about 10,500 rpm in second gear at 77 mph...



you are probably hitting 68 or 69 in second, just shy of the rev limiter, and then banging it into third where you quickly get up to 75+, but this is third gear, not second...so ya...
