Hmm, maybe. With enough power, since the tires are already spinning fast enough to propel the car 75mph, I could buy that.

My guts still thinking it would stall because the tire speed would have to reduce to 10mph, and in 5th gear (or whatever necessary gear to reach 75mph) that would cause a stall. You can't do 10mph in 5th.

But, you may be right, I'm not considering that the tires are already spinning at the RPM necessary for 75mph.
