I watched a C6Z06 get dynoed about two weeks ago when I was having some work done on my C5. The owner of the car said if he shifts any higher than 6200 he is out of his power curve. According to him 6200 was optimal. Maybe other C6Z owners will chime in.

I shift out at 6700. I have run my best times at the track at this shift point.
Many cars are different.
