Default Re: Corvette ZR-1 revealed Dec 20th 12:01 a.m.

Gear ratios in previous corvettes werent really optimized for highway runs (overdrive 5th and double overdrive 6th). - if they have geared it to hit top speed in 6th its going to be an absolute rocket on the top end.

Unlike the Z06, which achieves it's top speed in 5th gear....

... the ZR1 reaches top speed... in 6th gear.
