It sounds like he's got problems. I hope I'm not being to technical with my diagnosis.

Maybe his knock sensor is kaput so the timing is totally retarded.

I don't think it's the knock sensor. If he's redlining it in 5th gear, the car should be going a helluva lot faster than 60. Clutch? Tranny? Inaccurate info?
