I don't know if it's common knowledge or not but Corvettes CAN actually get really good fuel economy. I've known about this for years because there was a time when I wanted one and I spent a lot of time on Corvette forums reading up on 'em.
As I was walking by a C4 in my parking lot today it hit me that a big part of the good MPG these cars get is due to the areodynamics of the car along with, of course, power to weight ratio.
So it hit me, what if someone took a Corvette of all things and modified it to get some seriously good gas mileage? It would have to have a small economical engine so it wouldn't be fast any more! Depending on how crazy someone wanted to go with it there could even be some serious modifications involved and obviously there are a lot of people who would cry blasphemy, but who cares? ...if somebody wants to ecomod their car it's their business.
Somebody oughtta do it.
