Are you kidding? The Vette owner is by and large a purist. There is no love lost with the old or new GS replicas. Heck, they turn their noses up when you have a replacement one-piece fiberglass front end on you Vette. Whenever I parked at a Vette show, you would constantly see the purist feeling the bottoms of the fenders to see if you had original panels.

You should have seen their faces when I told them I had a 540ci Dart block with a Tremec TKO600 5-speed, though original appearing.
