06s dont have the gov. on them, so if it has the power to get fast enough you could.

well it works in 6th. I've done it, in a closed, private parking lot. On ice (my wheels were spinning, not moving even 10mph). Please don't try it on a public road.

Closing the thread as your technical question has been answered.
