Chevrolet 2007 Corvette Owner's Manual page 314

Do not load your vehicle with more weight than it
was designed to carry. See "Steps for Determining
Correct Load Limit" earlier in this section.
CAUTION:
{
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
or either the maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do,
parts on your vehicle can break, and it
can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can shorten
the life of your vehicle.
Notice: Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.

If you put things inside your vehicle — like
suitcases, tools, packages or anything else — they
will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have
to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they
will keep going.
CAUTION:
{
Things you put inside your vehicle can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash.
•
Put things in the rear area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
•
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above the tops of
the seats.
•
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
•
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
