If we were to see a 7 speed, I'd bet what we'd get is ZL1 1LE gearing for 1-6, and the 7th gear ratio would be the same as 6th in the ZL1.
The 7-speed would be slightly better, and I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it. The difference is going to be pretty minor though.

The TR6070 has three slightly different gearsets already. I bet it wouldn't be all that hard to add a fourth that was better suited to the Camaro.
From the Tremec site . . . without doing any math, some of the adjacent gear spacings look to be nearly as close as in the 10-speed automatic.
