I don't think Corvette guys get hung up on this stuff. As long as the ponies are there, and you give them better weight distribution, I'm sure they'll be giddy. The 911/928 analogy is different, as the appearance of the car changed completely, it got a lot heavier, and it handled completely different. They were trying to change from a capable sports car to a GT cruiser...kinda like going from a 'vette to a Buick.
