You will notice no difference in driving the two since there is absolutely no difference. Only advantage to 7th gear is gas mileage on interstate which I like on 8 to 10 hour driving days on the interstate which the .42 ratio provides. The Camaro uses lower gear ratios because of the heavier car but again, if it had 7th gear, I am sure the first six would be identical to 6 speed since they have done that in the vette. But it won't fit so it is a mute point anyway. The high performance Corvette's use gearing similar to the Camaro and have a 2.97 first, 2.07 second, 1.43 third, 1.0 fourth, .71 fifth, .57 sixth and .48 7th.

Well, I should have looked it up before I posted it had an additional underdrive. Three overdrive gears should help FE, too bad the TR6070 won't fit.
