Oh yeah.

Our car: ~2400rpm 6th gear @65mph
Stang GT500: ~1300rpm 6th gear @65mph
Vette: ~1400rpm 6th gear @65mph

My pop's C6 can get dang near 30mpg at a steady 65mph cruise (not that any of these cars are usually cruised at 65).

I think the 370 could use a taller 6th, it certainly has the torque.
