Not at all. If he exceeded the speed limit at the beginning of the run, he was saying he could have maintained >60 MPH over the entire run. That's not the same as saying he could accelerate more at any point of the run. At that point he may not have been able to accelerate any more, but as the grade decreases (they mentioned they were at the steepest portion) they would have picked up more speed.

What was stated here was that he said he could exceed the speed limit at ANY point in the run, not just the beginning or the flat parts. That is why I stated that they would be lying because he was at wide open throttle at that point in the run while not exceeding the speed limit.
