I may be totally 'off' in my thought process here, especially given the amount of 'mods' people do with these cars.
Everything seems to be 'appreciated' by the Corvette culture, from lowering, widening, exhaust systems, to engine enhancements.
Perhaps the Corvette is meant to be viewed as a 'starter kit', subject to as much 'stuff' to personalize it as one can imagine (and afford).
Yet, for me, while these restomods look cool, and I'm sure they are a whole bunch of fun to drive, something gets lost in the process.
Would I personally give up all the creature comforts of a modern day Corvette - not in this lifetime.
Would I take an unaltered classic over a restomod as a second toy - absolutely.
