My guess it is would still pull a bit but the acceleration would drop off dramatically and also would depend if he was going into the wind or if you are going up a slight incline or not.
He definitely hit the Rev limiter and he actually did try to accelerate in 6th. You can barely hear it, but it sounds like the engine was bogging and you can clearly see the boost max out again right before he lifted because he knew it wouldn't pull.
