However the M6 ZL1s do have a pretty poor top speed gearing setup from what I've seen. Their top speed is in 5th gear at stock power level at around 173 MPH I think. If you were making a lot more power, it could twist 6th gear to 6000+ RPM.

Check this out:

Speed limited to 175? So, guess that answers the 200 mph question. I personally have ZERO need to go 200 mph. Well, if i was on a strip or wide open plain yea. Doing 130-140 on the streets already puts me on medication. I've hit 155 once back when my Zl1 was new, that was fast enough. But anyhow, I'm a wussie so.
