Is this feeling a part of the Corvette appeal, something one must live with, or just me?

Do you have any specific Corvettes to cite?
Aside from it's obvious lack of build quality here and there, the Corvette I bought new almost 40 years ago was tight as a drum, including transmission, and did almost everything well, including returning a very good short term resale value.
I'd expect that the Corvette today, would be similar or greater than mine was.
The 06 CDI's ride quality isn't near as good as the '70s MB sedans as I recall.
