I know GM put a lot of technology into the ZL1, making it much better than the SS, but they have a lot to do for the next generation to be competitive: pull out at least 400lbs, improve the aero considerably, and improve the interior so it looks modern - not retro. I hope GM does that and more.

I think a lot of you guys want to have your cake and eat it too. You guys want these big powerful techy motors, in cars with fancy interiors that can drive like a cadillac, crash like a volvo, turn like a NA Miata, and sip gas like a prius. All this at a price below the companies using fancy materials like aluminum and carbon fiber. Sure, my cousin's 5th gen weighs a solid 400lbs more than my 4th gen, but considering, he gets a ton more car than I do. And, he has to worry less about dying from a minor fender bender.
