And that is happening now.
Corvette has been a sealed market that is about to crack open as it goes mid engine and that will open new doors for the Camaro , who knows the mid engine Corvette may finally start to attract a younger buyer .

This is true.. Let's hope that the new C8 appeals to the younger generation that has the money because the 55 and up group may not latch on to this new design.. Only time will tell.

There not as far as you think when you compare the SS or 1LE to the C7 Corvette. I've owned Corvettes for over 20 years and never considered replacing it with a SS until the GEN6. I know several friends that own Corvettes that have drove the SS and now have added it to their possible replacement when they sell their Corvette. I do agree some will be faithful to the Corvette but it's not a wide of a performance gap as it use to be.
