Yes sir, that's how he is geared. He gets there quickly, though. Superbikes run about that same speed on AMA weekends.
Gates did a 1/4 mile run with a soft launch and still ended up with one of the fastest X's so far (137.6mph). As Dave mentioned, the car is seriously lightened...they consulted Mitsu engineers and torched away a lot of metal.
