There are cases where a 6 speed would be geared with a closer ratio with only one overdrive gear for road racing or smaller engines with a narrow power band. but this is very uncommon. Manufacturers also are required to have higher overall epa's so a one or two mpg increase in a vehicle like the GT500 helps with that rating.

My only reply to this is on Stangnet the guys were .. "praying" for a 6-speed.
