Remember, several C5 parts including the brakes and torque tube come from Australia.

It exists! Unfortunately, as it is built by Holden (GM Australia), we don't get it stateside.
The Holden is sweet, and I wish they brought it here, but it's too plebian and sedan-like to be a "super GT." And it's too highly-tuned to be the affordable mid-size V8 sedan we should have.

Unless you want a 5,000 pound truck or a plasticky turtle shell subcompact (F-body), I don't think there's much hope for a Corvette-powered four-seater.

Yeah um, er right.
They can put it next to the Corvette station wagon model on the showroom floor. (It has genuine simulated woodgrain on the sides) :U

Or they could park it next to the Corvette mini van model (it seats 6 and has a video player to keep the kids occupied on thoose long trips) :U

Or they could put it next to the Corvette Z-71 pick-um-up truck model. (This ones got lockout hubs, a headache rack, a grille gaurd and an electric winch up front) :U

You know, on second thought, maybe they should just forget about fixing something that is not broke.

Happy (2 seat) Corvetting,:seeya

A four seat performance car is fine, a four seat Corvette is Sacrilege :boxing
Exactly. A Corvette with four seats is no longer a Corvette. :eek: :eek:

It apparently is a Honda. Check this web site but replace the "poopie" with the s-word:

Using the Vette chassis as a base to replace the antiquated Camero/Firebird platform is, to me, a good idea. Being an EE not a ME, I may being committing engineering errors of which I know nothing.

Using Vette technology to provide a 4-seat performance car seems a good idea. Making a 4-seat Vette --Noooooo Waaaaaaay!

There was also one in the movie "Mystery men".

I've seen a pic of a stretched C4 w/ Bud girls, but can't find another copy. :(

But it just feels... wrong.

If A person does not Want A 2 Seat Sportscar, Do Not even consider looking at A Corvette. Look into A BMW M-3. After all, Motor Trend Rated The BMW the over-all winner in their performance car shoot-out Just because it had A Back seat. Even though the Corvette Beat it in Every category.(Except The Back seat Category) :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad

A Vette should and will (hopefully) never have four seats. IF I was looking for a four seat sportscar it'd be something like this:

A sports car does not have 4 seats!

A sporty car can have 4 seats--but it can't be a sports car.
