A friend at work has an old C6, the first engine in it was not the LS3, that came for the next year's model. He kept offering me a ride because I took him in the 1LE. I must say, I was not impressed, not only was there miles of hard plastic, but it felt like I was sitting way up high and at 5'11", my head was at the top of the roof. It pulled nicely, but I think the C7 is the first generation that I'd seriously consider (in fact I did during shopping). Compared to that first year C6, the first C7s are at least 2-3x the quality, materials, seats, etc. Agree the LS3 was a good engine though, I had it and it was smooth and sweet. The torque curve was great.
