Yeah, one of the things I found attractive about the C6 Z06 is the aluminum frame and magnesium cradle for weight reduction. Things that would not be easy to change on an older model to get those sorts of benefits. Just adding horsepower without substantial drivetrain and cosmetic improvements just makes it too easy for people to break out the spreadsheet to see how much putting those same improvements on their current generation would cost in comparison to buying a new car.
If GM wants to sell Corvettes, make the new generation something that most people would willingly rape their retirement fund to buy.
