with the first few sports cars (corvette, etc) which used the 6 speed their idea was mostly to improve fuel economy. This allows the gearing elsewhere to remain the same or gear it slightly lower to allow better use of power while having a tall 6th to increase fuel economy while cruising. On top speed tests most magazines seemed somewhat shocked when they could usually gain 5-10 mph using 5th vs 6th to reach the top speed.
