A coworker of mine has a denali suburban with 70k on it and they have already replaced the tranny and just replaced the pistons and rings due to an oil burning issue.

The fact is that the Corvette has industry leading PPH numbers.
The LS1 engine in your SS was prone to using oil, I bet you ran that Mobil 1 in it, didn't you? Mine did the same thing. Run a better oil and it stopped. I went from 1qt/2K miles to 3/4qt 4K miles usage running an oil better suited to that engine.
The drive-line of the corvette and its suspension are rock-solid. The interior is the only area that "needs work", and "what you see, is what you get" there. No secrets.
