Wow, a 4 seater C2 would have been amazing!

I honestly wish they would have made the Corvette with an optional 4 seats, kind of like what they did with the 911 and the Panamera. That would have opened up an entire new market.

That image posted Might be an artist impression or the mock up that was considered.The car has some proportional changes for two rear seats. At best it would have only accommodated kids under 10 years old.
