Not without a bunch of chassis mods. Paul Majors runs a solid rear. RPM has a 9" IRS rear combo.

Vengeance has mentioned having some mad scientist plan for an all wheel drive Corvette. Maybe call them and see what that's about.

Problem with solid axle is you need to run a normal tranny/driveshaft up front, which means a lot of hacking/etc. Only solid axle late model vettes I've seen are tube front with motor plates, then fab up a 4 link solid axle setup for rear. So if it is a full out race car, take it to a quality chassis shop and let them go crazy. It will be a full chassis build.
