The Corvette is its own platform. It has IRS unlike all Camaro generations other than the fifth gen. The front suspension is different too.

Yep, Corvette is it's own platform, a Y-body.

Corvette has always had their own platform with the short lived exception of the 4.4L 469hp Cadillac xlr

Yup. Ryan is correct. The Corvette has its own platform that was only shared once as the C5 based XLR. It is the Y-body like Randy said.

I always tell others to take the high road, that way there's more room for me on the low road
