WTF are you rambling about?
Quite ignorant of a so called "auto enthusiast" to make such a stupid comment. The Corvette has been made of fibreglass rom day one - in 1953 - That' why it has always been a light car.

The car has been made since 1953 - and been selling ever since - sometimes many, somtimes fewer models - but has always been a fast, decent handling car for the era it has been on sale in.
And SHOCK, GASP, HORROR has been bought by young, old and race teams for the past 50 years.

Do you know anythign about the history or background of ANY car on the planet?
Do your self a favour and read a book once in a while - maybe then you would realize that this car is the longest selling/made performance car in the history of autos.
That's right - NO other single model perfomance car has been on sale for 50+ years.
None.
So trying to make it sound like the car needs/has/is uder going a target market change is incorrect.
