Looks like he hit 6700rpm in 5th. I'm pretty sure he hit the rev limiter and that's why it cut out at 173. He shifted into 6th gear after the rev limiter hit but never tried to accelerate So we don't really know if it would still be pulling in 6th. 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.
