A C5 or C6 can easily get in the low 30s as they sit with just reasonable driving.
'Vettes are fairly light and have fairly good aerodynamics. 6 speed 'C5 and C6 'Vettes have a nearly optimal drive train.
Too bad the GM 4.5 liter V-8 diesel was lost in theGM holocaust. Best option available today might be a Cummins 4BT3.9. A bit heavy (about the same as a 454 gas engine) but very efficient. It might be too tall to fit in the engine bay without a bulged hood.
The little Cummins should easily put a 'Vette into the 40s.
