[QUOTE="rfh928, post: 211481, member: 5565"] As others have also said, with the C7 I put it into 7th if I'm putting it on cruise control between 100 and 120 KPH...may as well save engine rev's & some fuel. I did the same with 6th gear on my C5. I still think back to the days of my 78 C3 with a 4-speed, no o/d - I had an L82 with a 3.7 rear end and it revved at 3,100 RPM at 100, and 4,000 at 120. No a/c...so it was NOISY on the highway. The C7 in 7th rev's at 1,300 at 120...you can actually have a pleasant conversation with your passenger without shouting. [/QUOTE]
