I think the tire correction factor is a bit much for a 40 series tire, if you don't use it you get 114mph at the top of third gear (at 6600). That should be plenty to get through the 1/4 in 3 gears. Interestingly the gearing for this car and the 4th gen 6 speed with the 3.42 rear end is similar, as at 6000rpm at the top of third gear comes out to 113 mph (with a 25.6" tire). I don't know how close that is to people's real world experience though.
Either way the auto 2010 SS has a serious advantage here, as it will shift into 4th at 102mph, so it is actually geared quite a bit more aggressively.
