There are some things the C7 needs to do better, and one of them is manage airflow over the car/under the car/ and through the engine better, raise the interior quality level, avoid any voiding warranty issues with the forthcoming AT, do away with Transverse leafsprings. While they have worked great, I'd just rep em out  |
Why make any of those changes?
None of them will net more sales or make the car perform any better in a day to day world - which is where most Corvettes live.
The reason the Corvette has been the single longest survivng performance car model in the history of the automotive world is because changes where not simply made for the sake of chanes.
The GT-R took no sales from Corvette, they coul dbarely meet internal sales quotas.
Changing the formula will dilute the Corvette brand and harm sales and profits.
