You are looking at around 0.7g/rev of engine load at that speed in sixth gear.

Now, we need someone with an ESC and something to monitor engine load via MAF readings to do this experiment. You need to drive in any gear at 5000rpm, then use the brakes and throttle, modulating both until you you see ~0.7g/rev load at a constant speed. If the ESC drag reduction is activating then you have your answer.
