Corvettes seem to have a heavier feeling than most cars so it may be normal. If you can't hardly move the wheel then something is probably wrong. Flushing the power steering system with new fluid certainly won't hurt and prolong your steering rack's life-fairly easy.

Also may check your tire pressures-this has some effect if they are low.

Wouldn't hurt to check your alignment also. Too much toe in or toe out can make steering hard.(at slow speeds anyway)
