1LE??
Unlike most others on here, I don't blame you one bit, and the ONLY drawback to that platform (besides the oft cited horrid outward visibility), to me is the AFM/DoD system of the LT1, but that can be gotten rid of, and tuned out with a little effort.
The 6th gens have almost hypercar handling right from the factory, and feel almost 'tossable' despite their heft, again which most of the light, FWD (or light RWD roadster) fans on here just cannot comprehend.
Did you keep the FiST as well, as it's hard to tell from the above post.
