Yes, the C7 Corvettes in Z51 and Grandsport trim were geared slightly lower than the base Stingrays. It is not dramatic but it is noticeable. The Z06 and ZL1 use the LT4 so the gearing is engineered to match the power level and manage the torque. These cars are already traction limited, with lower gearing you would roast the tires even more. All these cars we are discussing are overpowered for the street, the only way to fully appreciate them is by getting them on the track.
The C7 Z06 has the same gear ratios as the Camaro ZL1.
