Not exactly a platform, but there are ways...

Funny I've never been a Vette fan either and even more broadly never been a GM fan.

New vette caught me by surprise though.
2 friends have them and are very pleased.

This is the first time a vette has ever had an interior that does not look and feel like crap.

Again I'm kinda rolling the dice here but I figured why not, live and learn.

I've never been a GM or Vette fan, but I'd take a C7 all day long if I could comfortably afford one. However, I can't.... nor am I even remotely close to being able to lol which is why I can deal with modding a cheaper car. :P

Looking forward to hearing your firsthand opinions. I feel the same way not just about the interior, but overall. Even with the controls they've always felt like I'm driving a really fast BarcaLounger. Not my bag.

Ok ok... Classic is a whole other ballgame. Besides, I've never had the pleasure of driving one built before the 80s GM catastrofuck.

Buy a late C3, do this conversion and an engine swap.
Go to Autocross and brag, then get 2nd slowest time of the day.
