Default 6th gear pulls with 4.10s, details inside...

On my way down to Florida for the BPP shootout I hit some nice long straight sections of highway. To law enforcement, this story is fictional, it's on the internet, so it must be made up. ;) Let's just say I found out that 6th gear pulls in my car with 4.10 gears. My 6600rpm shift light came on at 167mph (as shown on the HUD), I then shifted to 6th gear. I dropped to 165 during the shift, the car then pulled slowly to 170, and then pulled harder to 175. It was still pulling hard when I got out of it, but I ran out of straight road. As the RPMs got higher in 6th it kept pulling harder. I'd say 200+ would be no problem with this car, I'm guessing about 205-210mph is my top end.
