Chopped C3 vs. Pontiac?

I was looking at my corvette calendar thought: How would a c3 look like if you cut off the end bits? I think it looks rather like a Solstice. Don’t you think?

Odd.

I think there are probably a few people on here pondering it already. 4-banger with a tiny fuel cell?

4 banger not a lot shorter than a V8, maybe a V6 would be it, and move the radiator back a goodly bit....electric fans, and it's possible...maybe a 4.3 engine??

like to know what they did for a fuel tank....

other than those mechanical issues, I think the appearance is neat...I like it....course I like the Sky/Solstice cars too....

That right there is pretty funny, I don't care who you are!

I was telling MN-Brent, in that chop it does resemble the Solstice/Sky. Its not something I would do to any vette of mine. I would just buy the Pontiac if that is the look I was going after.
