you will beat any car/truck/buggy/truggy whatever that has a one speed, but a top speed of like 50+mph. its because they have a one speed and an engine that loves to run in the high rpms so it will take off once it hits about 1/3-1/2 its speed. whereas the savage with a 3 speed is going to accellerate hard, gain speed, and top out before any of those single speeds, just because it has the gears to spread out. if you raced a buggy or truggy or ST with a 2 speed, you'd be screwed.(again weight is a factor here)
