- The new Corvette's body is no longer fiberglass, right? Isn't it aluminum now? Those can be had at a steal these days. 17-20k for a world class performer (and overheater - you think a triumph overhea

- You're wrong here. Both the Lotus Elise and the Renault Spider use an aluminium frame. The Renault one is welded together, and the Lotus is glued in a very high tech process using an autoclave curin

- Kudos for your exemplary dissertation on Vette history, Generation V Corvettes start at $28k and go UP form there. For $40k you can get a car that kick butt on a $70k Viper or run with the $120K+ Ita

- Well, other people have pointed out that the new Corvette is using Aluminum for parts of their frame, also (don't know if the whole thing is or not). The AIV I saw had the major superstructure made o
