I would seriously consider upping your investment a little and finding a nice 2008 C6.
Thats the first year for the LS3, and hp went from 400 to 430,(436 with npp dual mode exhaust option).
The 2008 is sort of a key year in which lots of things were changed for the better.
I picked up a 2008, 3LT optioned C6, A6, 436hp Coupe. Paddle shift, rev matches on downshift. The car is qwik. mid 12's bone stock, high 11 second ets with a cai, headers and a dyno tune,(total for those upgrades=$1,900 approx).
PS. I bought the 2008 in 2012, 34,500 miles on it, got an extended warranty for 6 more years/72,000 miles.
With extended warranty the car was $35,500 in 2012. Im sure they are a few thousand less now 2 years later.
It was the best $36k I have ever spent for a loaded car, (GPS/NAV, Headsup, Heated Seats, Auto Dimming Mirror, Tilt/Telescoping Wheel, Twilight Sentinel, etc., etc.)
Gotta have those heated seat here in southern florida.
2008 forward would be the place to look if you can manage the additional cost.
