i could be wrong but i believe 6th is basically an overdrive in our cars (as in many other cars) that is there for highway efficiency only. i don't use it on surface streets and it is pointless to accelerate in 6th even on the freeway, unless you like using only a portion of the car's available power. Sidenote: people cruising at 3k rpm/70mph in 6th gear then trying to accelerate without downshifting are hitting the torque dip AND using an overdrive gear hence reviewers and people who test drive a car come back bUT tHe 86 iZ sO sLoWw!!1!
