It would likely be a clearance issue if anything. That and you would
suffer a minor mileage penalty. If you are really in a position to need
the information, why not try asking in one of the Corvette forums where
there is likely a vendor who has set up one that way? And if you are
concerned about warranty issues, ask a couple Chevy dealers.

Lawrence knows he'll be picked apart on the Corvette forums faster
than a 16 lb cooked turkey.

So it turns out the guy who comes in here trumpeting a 147 hp/l Porsche
engine is "not really a car guy, in regards to the mechanical
technicalities".  But I guess he can read a stats sheet.  LOL.

lol - you're confusing what I'm asking with what's different.

any bozo can calculate horsepower/liter...but what I am asking now is
something a Corvette mechanic could only answer - which I'm not, that's why
i'm asking. and my question isn't revealed on a stats sheet.

...know the difference.

Silly boy.   Folks routinely put Z06 wheels and tires on their C6's.
They aren't Corvette mechanics, and they hang out in the Corvette
forums.  

I would be happy to answer your question Lawrence as soon as you
answer mine.  :)

Yes Lawrence, do.    

And also what car do you own and drive?
