And the 6th gear was revised specifically for high speed vs standard ZL1. Mathematically, the car will go exactly 200 mph, keeping power at maximum as you travel through the 190s.
I was under the impression this was the opposite. You're making me doubt myself though.

The high speed tests I recall seeing I thought were out before much was really known about the 1LE capabilities. In these tests the auto ZL1 went 200+ while the M6 was still a bit shy (190s).

My understanding was the drag created by the aero in the 1LE alone would prevent it from getting too far beyond 175, and the gearing difference didn't help.

P.S. The ring was incredible from my standpoint too.
