I noticed he was only in 4th gear at 132mph. What kind of top-end could you expect at the red-line in 6th?

The car will do around 200 mph in the top of 5th. 6th gear wont do much.

The Z's have some looonng legs stock. You also would have noticed the regular Z's don't get out of 3rd in the 1/4. I was right at the top of 3rd gear going through the traps at ~117mph.

6th gear theoretically would be over 300mph at redline. However, no car is gonna pull that. 5th gear is the top speed gear, and with stock rear gears it tops out at about 205 @ 7,000 rpm. A few more revs would take it a few mph further.
