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...
Gotcha...

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).

1. The majority of readers and drivers on this site are from the US not Europe.
2. If you try that on any US freeway or public road, you risk going underneath the jail.
3. It takes a stock SS or SS 1LE a long time to get anywhere near 170 mph, not happening on a track.
4. You may severely shorten the life of your motor driving at a high rate of speed for an extended period of time (drag and race car engines are constantly rebuilt and changed)

I speak truth to power...gamble for your own entertainment...

I'm not sure what the argument is...no worries! Chevrolet put together a wonderful machine - SS or ZL1, no matter.

Man are you lucky to be able to cruise those highways. Thank you for the videos. I am very envious.
