The car's purpose will not be a drag car but rather a time attack car using all 6 gears (instead of 2-3-4-5 gears) which are laid out in a way to keep your RPMs above 5500 RPM similar to this car over here:
check the gear ratios for a Lambo Murciellago for example. note that while driving one of these on the track, downshifting into 1st gear is a pretty common

I thought these two vehicles were using auto-manual gearboxes though. I do see what you're saying though, just seems not enough ROI for the mod.
