Which is no where true for a M6 ZL1 1LE with wider stickier tires, aero, and 36% steeper gear ratio in 6th than a regular ZL1.

At 85mph, you're turning 2,720 with a MH3 M6 in 6th vs. 2,000.
Ok, now I understand. I was confused as hell looking at MLee's post and reading everyone else's comments. I agree, the ZLE ratio's are much better tailored for the drag strip or high speed road courses.
