Not going to happen
Chevy once tried to update the technology in the Vette to a dual over head cam motor (ZR-1) and heard nothing but outrage from the Corvette Club. They simply won't allow anything but old tech or "traditional" Vette features. My uncle owns 3 Vettes and he told me you can count on a few things in every Vette: push-rod V8, round tail lights, and leaf spring suspension.
As much as I'd like to see the Vette have 2007 technology in it, like dual overhead cam motors, double wish bone suspension, variable valve timing, all wheel drive, turbo, direct injection, etc it wouldn't fly, its too expensive to build a car like that, GM would rather make it affordable and employ gimicks like "skip shift" to help it get 2007 gas milage.
