The article above is incomplete. They didn't say anything about getting in and driving around in yer corvette after the fall-out had past (but maybe they should have ). It would be a real [gulp] 'Blast' to do so! LOL

Assuming the battery has 12v after an EMP.....which it is unlikely it would be damaged......the car would start right up.

Those of you that keep a spare HEI module in the car, wrap it in aluminum foil.
