Here you go... turns out the initial data on the Z06 showed it as having the same ratios as the Z51 Stingray, but they corrected that later. This is (I think) the updated, correct info:

Dave's chart looks spot on to me!!
And here's a really neat gear ratio/speed calculator by leres. leres used to be here on the forum quite a bit, but I haven't seen him here in a long time - you can his calculator site hasn't been updated since the 2009 ZR1:

Below is where I clicked on the ZR1 in the list (ZR1 rear end ratio and wheel/tire diameter are the same as ours), and I made two changes to make 1st thru 6th the same as our C7 Z06 M7: 5th from .81 to .82; 6th from .67 to .68, and I also changed the redline from 6500 to 6600 so you can see the max speeds in each gear (of course there's no 7th, and you can fergitaboud 224.5mph in 6th!!!:
