Do you really think the caddy chassis is that bad ? Great luxo box platform
Just a little irritated when people make the zr1 the lower common dominator. And claim better technology (subjective) or some total unrelated to performance issue. I won’t judge a "sports car" by cosmetics or how it makes me feel, only the basic safety, reliability, performance and handling stuff which may be subjective to some.

Agreed. I don't have data on C4 recalls...anyone?

The NHTSA keeps a database of recalls:

The '99 Corvette won the SAE International "Design of the Century".

Granted the C5s have their issues, but all cars have something...Porsche, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Toyota, Honda, et al have one thing in common: ISSUES!
