Since the gearing on the regular C5 is taller than the Z06 the top speed of the C5 may be fractionally higher than the Z06.

The top speed of a Z06 is achieved in 6th gear before redline, so the shorter final drive ratio is NOT the limit here. The top speed of a Z06, as mentioned in an earlier post, should be ~6 MPH higher than that of a C5.
