Absolutely ^ x2

It's not about selling to an audience today, it's for 10 years down the road+

Corvette enthusiasts will still buy it and with upscaling everything it's going to grab buyers who want performance but can't afford 90K for a Porsche. And people who weren't even considering a Corvette now are.

You can appeal to your audience but eventually that audience is going to move elsewhere.

Case in point, Jaguar didn't change design for almost 20 years trying to cater to the same audience and it almost drove them to extinction, now look at the models that have come out over the past 5 years.
