The difference between LS1 and LS2?
I love my C6 and I can certainly tell the torque curve is broader. One thing confuses me. My C5 would slam into the rev limiter in 2nd before I even knew what was happening. I had to be more aware of where my RPMs were. On my C6, it seems to not be as peaky and its obvious that a shift is imminent. Is this because of the higher red line?
I know my C6 is deceptively fast. Other than the displacement, what are the differences?
Thanks.

And, yes, the higher redline is probably why it seems to be the way you noted.
