Default 3.73 Gear Ratio Question??

If a 2001 C5 Z06 has a 3.73 gear ratio, what will be the estimated top speed? What RPM will you be at on the highway cruising at 80mph?

There's about a 9% difference between the 3.73 and stock 3.42's. So your 80mph at 2000rpm with 3.42's will be close to 2200rpm with 3.73's (as in my '03 Z06).
