Dear OP
Maybe you meant well. But it backfired. maybe with your generation it may have been a hit. And I did take note that you actually love the car, so I'll be easy. We all were young once.
So here's an address on some of your issues.
1 Big B pillars. Poor visibility? You have 2 mirrors, one on each side. Learn to use them. They are your friends. No need to turn your head like Linda Blair.
Heres a trick. Lean forward and the angle of view in the mirror changes and nearly eliminate blind spots
2 Electronics? The car is 10 yrs old. Very few if any has hookups for mp3 players in 2006. You can add that though
3 Interior? I've taken mine on 1400 mile round trips in comfort. When I was your age I did it in a 72 Pinto wagon. You should do that so as to appreciate how nice the interior really is.
4 Exhaust There is plenty aftermarket to choose from. Or get a new Vette with the NPP. Its only money...Right?
5 heated seats? Do you realize that heated seats haven't even been around much longer than your drivers license?
Yer pretty lucky. You have a car which will compete with cars 2-3 times its cost at a young age. I had to wait a long time to get one. Its a lot more car than I expected and I thought I knew something about Vettes.
Fix the stuff you don't like and be glad that you have such a nice car at such a young age. Focus on the good and fix the bad. Enjoy

no visibility issues in my convertible. 
Also...the heated seat comment from the OP still kills me especially with him living in California. I see -20F in the coldest part of winter here in South Dakota and I rarely use my heated seats in our Suburban.

I'm still trying to figure out what a "Entitlement Attitude" is and what it has to do with any of this ?? Kinda sounds like the opposite of "Don't blame me cause i'm wealthy" attitude which is just as bad if not worse.
