First I heard about them starting off in 2nd gear--that sucks!

The L99 6-speed automatic only starts off in 2nd if you are in A position, or if you are in M position running in Sport mode. If you are in M and run with the Trip-Tronic you can kick it into 1st with a flick of the left flip-off finger.
Heck all the LS3 got was a six-speed manual, L99 owners got three transmissions in 1.
1) D position = Lazy Day driving, don't spill my beer
2) M position = Very Fast w/ high-rev shift-up/hard braking shift-down aggressively (finished with my beer, but my flip-off fingers are tired)
3) M+Trip-Tronic = six-speed manual without "Launch Control" to piss you off
Can't beat that.
