From Grapevine huh, Coppell sound familiar?
But yeah people on here have the 6.2L but that engine is real sluggish w/o a custom tune, plus you have to worry about the rougher idles people with Denalis with the 6.2L complain about....

6.2 is beast with out a tune. With a tune its even better, ITs awesome, Get it. Rough idle is non existent on any that I have driven. It might have a more aggressive sounding exhaust but thats pretty cool, other than that its no big deal, Remember even if you do feel a but more idle, you got over 400 horses just sittin there, they gotta move some how.

eScrew rough idle who gives!? What RollinThunder said things a beast. My 5.7 with the shorty headers dual exhaust BBTune Cold Air intake is loud as ****. And that... Is why I love it =D. If only someone on here was so loaded they'd give me $10,000.00 I'd be the happiest man child in the world, I could fund an engine/trani build. Imagine... 4L80E trani and a big bad engine under their... 6.2L all the way. Gotta find a wrecked one somewhere with the engine in good/great condition.

If you want one good luck finding one. Better do it quick they are all but gone from what I've heard at the dealer I bought mine from. definately worth it, i would've loved to get one but the deal i got was a demo and it was the 5.3. It's taking all of my willpower to NOT put a blower, H&C, or drop the Esky motor that's sitting in my friend's performance shop into this truck lol... And I'm not convinced something won't be done if my wife were to "suddenly" vanish :secret:

My friend has a Siera Denali with the 6.2, tune, CAI and it's an animal.. I swear that truck vs my TBSS (when it was stock) would have hung on the door through 60mph. It feels like a 13.9 or so, which is ridiculous given it's mass:hands:

go get one!

I almost didn't get a 6.2 becuase the first one I drove felt SLOWER than my 5.3 2WD. I talked to a few people and everyone agreed that they need break-in miles so I finally did get a 6.2 4X4 a few months ago. I've got a little over 4K on it now, and it will leave a 5.3 for dead still bone stock. It should really haul with a tune and CAI. Biggest ***** is it averages 13.8 MPG VS 16 MPG for the '07 5.3 2WD. I have no issues so far with rough idling, just very thirsty.

Sluggish? I've never heard of anyone describe the 6.2 as sluggish...

I know where Classic is at, the huge place right around DFW.
I would say $56k is a good price, but to high for a Tahoe IMO.
I would say just get a Denali at this point.
And when I said sluggish, I meant the 6.2L Tahoes do have more power when your behind the steering when compared to the 5.3L, but for some reason they don't feel as good as the 6.2L in the Esky and Denalis, just what I heard!:hands:
