Really? Thanks genius.
The point I was making is that quality has always taken a back seat with American sports cars. A lot of that is for affordability, but a factory car that has the ability to crack body panels and paint is just a poorly built car, plain and simple. The Corvette is a challenge because it's body can't be used for structural integrity because it's fiberglass, so it has a mostly aluminum spine chassis and a composite tub to which the body is attached. The C5's were quite a bit more rigid than the C4's, and the C6's were more than 300% more rigid than the C5's. Obviously GM engineers figured it out later on.
I'm sure this is way over your head fatty, but I'm sure everybody else here already knew this or at least easily understands it.
