XutvJet is considering a steel framed vehicle. No concern about aluminum fatigue life, but heavier than the C6 Z06 with aluminum space frame.
No problem, but to add and as further clarification, starting in 2006 with the ZO6, while the frame was aluminum the supports for the fixed roof panels as well as the engine cradle assembly were actually a magnesium alloy.
