Something doesn't add up with your passing the 20 mph semi story. At redline in first gear you should be doing about 45 mph. You would have no problem getting ahead of a semi that tops out at 20 mph.
You're right, speeds might be off a bit. It was 2 years ago and I was more concerned with being stuck in the wrong lane than I was with staring at the speedo so I was estimating. Plus, I'm not used to mph. Either way, it was slow and couldn't get out of 1st gear to pull the hill or pass the semi. I've encountered the hill pulling problem several times since. (Minus the traffic or passing attempt)
