c4, c5, and c6 corvettes are actually made from hydroformed steel space frames with fiberglass embedded plastic (called frp) body panels. They are actually very safe cars in crash tests. The only aluminum body part in them is the floor pans...which are aluminum and balsa wood lol. Before that they were just full steel frames with totally fiberglass panels, and they were still tough cars
