Lighter, leaner, quicker, more tossable all come to mind.
One side note, as we know visibility has always been a topic of discussion with the Camaro but I think the forward visibility is improved in the Gen6. It has to do with the dash and the styling effect they created as it flows toward the passenger side. The only folks who will appreciate it are Gen5 owners. It is hard to explain but the dash in the Gen6 feels lower to me on the passenger side than it did in the Gen5. You can kinda of see it here, it feels like it slopes down on the passenger side but it really doesn't.
Also note the Corvette look of the hood from the driving position.

6 really is a sharp looking car. How's the suspension compared to your 1LE? Did you get the mag ride? I'm sure you can really feel the 200lbs difference.
The visibility is what it is. It's not as horrible as some people say once you get used to it and totally worth it for the chopped look.
