ill bite my tongue and not rag on you. most bike racks go in tow hitch. they do make hitch for the vette, we have seen pics of idiots with large boats behind their cars. so yes you can probally pretty easily put a bike rack on your vette although i dont understand why the h3ll you would ever do it.

Let's face it, if you want a bike rack or maybe carry some snowboards on a roof rack, a vette is probably not the car you wanted to buy. This is one of the reasons I considered an audi to replace my c5 (but I made the right choice )

I'd just go buy a used crappy jeep, or if you only need the bike racks occasionally (like once a month) renting a car might be a better solution than going crazy on your beautiful c6

Vettes are sports cars, that's about it. That is why most of them just sit, unused in garages.

shortboards will fit inside with the passenger seat folded forward...if the board is short enough. the fun part is vacuuming out the sand after

I purchased one of these bikes to carry in my vette (my only car)

http://www.montaguebikes.com/

I have the paratrooper...fits in the cargo area - top closes with plenty of room to spare.
