Why the Z06? It is the twitchiest of the lot. You'll have more than a handful with just the C6. The LS3 is pretty good engine. Coupled with the dry sump, upgraded brakes and suspension from the Z16 package and Z52 package (std on the Grand Sport) you are good to go. I forgot to mention it also steals some of the Z06 chassis bits. Get the base 1SA and replace the seats with nice ones.
