I wouldn't put too much faith in the stock tach reading. Find a scan tool and hook that up to see what RPM you are actually at. +/- 200 rpms is very common between years.

60 mph and an M6 in 6th gear should let you lope along at 1,300 RPM. If you are pulling close to 2,000 rpm in 6th year then your gears have been switched to 4.10
