The ZLE trans (6th gear) is why it has a higher topspeed than a regular ZL1 (190+ vs 175 mph).
Interesting my stock SS 1LE matches topspeed on a regular ZL1 - completely gearing related.

At 85mph, you're turning 2,720 with a MH3 M6 in 6th vs. 2,000. |

I like the 1-5 ratios on MJK / MH3 but would prefer the 0.50 6th-gear of the MM6 or 0.54 of the MJK. The 0.82 5th still tops out around 170mph on a ZL1 1LE. Unless you need more than that on a road course, that hybrid combo would be the best of both worlds.

The ZL1 1LE was not produced in 2017. It started in 2018. The chart you posted says 2017 Passenger car transaxle/transmission - Manual. I am guessing they changed ratios in 2018.

For example, the C8 is designated as a 2020 car, but the true production year technically started in 2019. The first completed C8 rolled off the assembly line Feb 2020. But it is possible changes were made. |

Hell...even in a freeway pull, the 5th gear in the M6 SS 1LE is too tall to hang after 90+ mph (I used to own a 2016 SS). One of my future projects is to change my M6 ZL1 trans with a ZL1 1 LE M6 trans...don't need it but just love having it!! |

My previous research for a 2017 camaro showed the gears were identical except for the 6th gear: 0.536 for the ZL1 vs 0.675 for the ZL1 1LE. However, what the previous posts are showing is all 6 gears have different ratios, so I gotta look into it a little more... |

You are correct, the 2018 ZL1 1LE did not debut in 2017....however, as I previously stated, cars can be manufactured 1 year in advance of their actual designated build year.
Look at the 2017 Tremec manufactured GM TR 6060 transmission designated as "TR6060 MH3" which happens to be the same designation for the 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE. Now, is it possible GM changed the gear ratios? Sure is! So, that's why I wrote I have to do more research... Last edited by Krowser; 02-11-2020 at 09:09 AM. Reason: spelling |
