LS3 Top speed per gear?

Does anyone know this? I know my L99 first shifts at like 30, 2nd like 65 and so on. Interested in knowing what the LS3 is.

Yep...Autos don't stand a chance at 241 and above. Just Another reason I'm glad I drive a manual!

Thank you. I can create a chart for the 1LE
I've been afraid to watch that forum
I couldn't see that from my work PC. Is it linked from facebook? We have that blocked at work.
