if you pull your car in 2nd gear while your speed exceeds the top of your 2nd gear, your motor's revolutions will be mechanically forced to spin at that rpm through the transmission, another example, if his 2nd gear goes to 55 at most, and he pulls it in 2nd gear going 65, its like forcing your motor to spin at 10k rpms, the revlimiter isn't going to do shit...
