For the V-8 model -
6.2L, keep the displacement the same, and hp at or near the Vette.
No AFM with the manual trans. Don't care if it is supposedly imperceptible, don't want it.
450ish hp base V-8 performance model, with a higher level performance model either supercharged or large cube 427.
Styling wise.... take a pro touring style '69 just like this one, and slightly modernize it. Stay with that retro first gen-ish styling. Don't overdo the rear with spaceshipy tail ligts/sharp angles.... like the new Corvette.
