That's why you should start in 2nd gear. My S-Class starts in 2nd gear always and revs until 80 km/h with it. Then it changes to 3rd gear, so up to 120 km/h I have only 1 shift.

@Filip Yeah and Sweden had some of biggest US car clubs only bested by those in the US. There's a huge Camaro community there as well which is all funny since Scandinavians are very serious about pollution and big V8s.
Back when 2 gears were enough to go decent highway speeds, today you won't get to 50km/h with a modern 8- or 10- in 2nd gear! My 6-speed can still do 70mph in 2nd or ~115km/h.

Did Canadian cars have looser emissions requirements at the time? That is extremely fast for a 1975 car.
No, these old cars had quite a bit of torque to them which made up for the loss of horsepower.
