Your second reason there…I agree that the money went towards performance. The rest…I don’t know what your getting at haha. Differences from other corvettes? Eh…I haven’t spent the required time around corvettes to be able to pick out details among the years, but I can definitely guess to within 3 or 4 years. At least it’s not as difficult as Porsche is, god, all their ‘new’ cars look exactly the same. ---
