An eight-speed C5 that coulda, woulda, shoulda been

Imagine if you could significantly improve both the acceleration and fuel efficiency of your Corvette without even touching the engine. In theory, the approach is fairly simple: Divvy up the powerband with a close-ratio, semi-automatic, eight-speed gearset. This would give the car much more torque and horsepower through the gears, since the engine would drop only half the rpm on each shiftùand there'd still be a top gear with overdrive for low-rpm, long-range cruising.
