Default Things to look for in a used ls1?

Hey guys. I totaled out the my LT1 a few weeks ago. I found a really nice 00 TA in my area. I am going to be checking it out this Sunday. Is there any certain things that i should be looking for? It has about 50k on it and he told me it was NOT moddem. Now, the thing is that its a m6. Well, I dont know how to drive one YET!! I am having someone go with me to drive it and tell me what they think of the gears/etc.

So, is there anything that I should look/listen for? Anything to tell the person that is gonna take the car for a spin??

Search around. There are LOT of threads about this. There was just one on the front page the past day or two.
