Funny you say that, but you know that quite a few people have stuffed a Chevy V8 in the back of a 911. It happens quite a bit.

I finally had a chance to take a look at a new Z at the Houston car show (lame show), I was impressed and dissapointed. The engine looks awesome, all business, the exterior, wheels/exhaust everything very cool. Then I got inside and was underwhelmed in a sea of plastic. Yes it was worse than my 996 which also has too much plastic IMO. The shifter felt very good and the pedals seemed adequate. My kids loved the car. In short an awesome Corvette, but not something I could live with as a daily driver, but a weekend toy...

GM is just milking the 'Vette as it's one of the few desirable cars they have...but even that doesn't make sense as Porsche manages to make plenty of money on quality cars.
What's Chevy's problem?

I have no idea why GM doesn't at least offer an interior upgrade as an option on the Vette. A lot of people would pay for it, which would obviously just add to the profit GM makes on the car. Personally I don't particularly care about those issues for this car, but I know a lot of people that do. I also don't think the interior is bad; not great, but not bad.
