Depends on the Car...
M6 vs. M12 Transmission
6000 or 6500 RPM Redline (Base or Z06)
Differential Ratio
And tire height
Here's a chart illustrating the differences between a Coupe and Z06 with different Rear End Ratios.
Also - Here's a great site i use to play with the Gearing and see what changes...

You can change any variable - Redline, Gearing, Tire Size, and even check what RPM's at what speed... very handy site - i use it all the time...
I guess the short answer is:
Base Coupe at 6000 RPM
1st 53
2nd 79
3rd 108
4th 140
5th 190
6th 281

Yeah - Depending on your tire size. I have 285/40/18s which are a little taller... but the stock 275/40/18 is a little shorter - and a stock Z06 tire is even shorter...
And at ~165 when you run out of 5th you can shift into 6th and try... if you've added any power to your car, it may still pull into the 170s...
