What is the fastest you have gone in 6th gear?
The top speed of the Camaro is obtained in 5th gear.
The tall gearing on 6th doesn't allow the car to push any more air at a certain point. What is that point? Asking for a friend

In my Callaway ZL1 1LE at Daytona, I am in 6th in the back and front stretch. Reached 172 crossing the finish line there. I'm shifting out of 5th at about 160. You can really feel the aero holding you back at that point.

Does the autobahn count as a track? From my experience there, 6th gear is useless. I actually started losing speed when I shifted into 6th. I got to 176.6 MPH.

Obviously gear ratios are shorter in the ZL1 1LE vs the ZL1

I get the feeling this question was too complicated for the forum

Or maybe it's 100% pointless?
No one is shifting into 6th gear on a road course.
