Porsche-Jeck:
 I like the Corvettes - they are "honest" sportscars Smiley

 

+1.   Corvette has almost the same years of heritage as the 911 - and has also done more than most makers to consistently design light cars that avoid unnecessary complexity.  Even the transverse leaf spring Heist refers to  is now a composite part - lighter than steel coils, and the Z06 has innovative aluminium and composite construction. 

All this with relatively minimal resources: if cash-strapped GM had provided the Corvette team with 1/10 of the engineering resources that Porsche has (plus maybe a spare Italian or two to re-design the interior) who knows what they could come up with?
