Although I doubt the Corvette would ever feature AWD due to the difficulty of packaging a front differential and an engine under that extremely low hood combined with the undesirable rise in price and girth, it is possible. The GT-R uses a rear transaxle with front engine like the Corvette. The Nissan has a second drive shaft that runs parallel to the first, returning power up to the front again.

I really hope they offer the ZR1 suspension on base and Z06 Vettes. The base model already has MR shocks available, but apparently their 1st gen tuning isn't nearly as capable as even the Z51, let alone the might ZR1. If this was simply replaced by the superior ZR1's setup, I'd bet there would be a lot of takers. Are you listening GM?
